About TCB

Talking Chicago Baseball was founded in February 2009 as a way for the authors to whine about the Cubs and White Sox. Now it is a top destination for all the latest Cubs and White Sox news and analysis. We have all the current news for both teams in Chicago and proudly do so with as much bias as possible.

I'm Already Tired of Kevin Millar | Print |  E-mail

Spring Training hasn't started yet and I'm already tired of Kevin Millar and all of his "stuff". He was on ESPN Radio yesterday talking about team chemistry and intangibles. Gross, and to think we have an entire Spring Training of this kind of stuff. The quote that really get me is

"Everybody is looking at stats ... I get it, But my point is when you're making a team and trying to bring in a bunch of different personalities I think everybody's got a certain amount of intangibles that they bring."

Kevin everybody is looking at stats because at the end of the day that is what matters. Your chemistry and intangible crap really helped the Blue Jays and Orioles in recent years. To me it seems like you are an aging player who is no longer capable of providing the stats, so you are trying to create some sort of value for yourself. The fact that it goes along perfectly with Jim Hendry's offseason mantra (improve clubhouse chemistry at all costs) means this isn't the last we hear of this.

Luckily Millar has about as good a chance of making the 25 man roster as I do. The Cubs have little to no use for a bad defensive player who posted an awesome .311 OBP last season. This guy is a clown who is about to be done playing baseball, unless he agrees to "cowboy up" for the Cubs AAA team. I really don't need to read about what a great guy he is and how much fun the team will have with him around, he isn't a good baseball player anymore. As far as I'm concerned he is more of an annoyance than he is a benefit to the club. Thankfully we won't have to deal with him during the regular season.
