Orioles Re-Sign Millar

The Orioles re-signed Kevin Millar to a 1 year deal worth $2.75 million and an option for 2008.

Grade: C

Theres nothing wrong with the signing, unless Millar is the starting first baseman all season. Millar would be fine as a back up 1B/DH, as he can get on base at a high rate, but he doesn’t have the power that a first baseman/designated hitter should. The option for 2008 is a vesting option that is based on a certain amount of at bats. Hopefully that means they don’t plan on him being a full time player or that they plan on trading him at the deadline, like Jeff Conine this year.
