When we heard that
Brad Mills was taking the hill to face the Red Sox tonight, our first thought was:
'Geez, Brad, don't take it that personally'. Then we realized it
wasn't the former Red Sox—and current Indians—coach, but a 29-year cast-off from the Brewers organization. In fact, the inimitable
Billy Beane purchased Mills' AAA contract for $1—that's right one lousy semolian. Mills has a career 7.76 ERA in
The Show, but he was much better in AAA this year. Hey, what else can you get for a buck?
