Newsbreakers
July 23, 2009
Kevin Millar was 2-for-4 with a home run and a pair of RBI in the Blue Jays' 5-4 loss to the Indians on Thursday.
Our View:
Millar has just five homers and 24 RBI this season, and doesn't see enough action to be considered in fantasy leagues. He started out hot with a .343 average in April, but since then has failed to hit above .218 in any other month this season.
May 19, 2009
Kevin Millar provided all of the offense for the Blue Jays on Tuesday as his team fell to the Red Sox 2-1. Millar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run.
Our View:
Millar is hitting an even .300 on the year, but he hasn't shown much power. His fantasy value is pretty slim unless he starts hitting bombs on a more regular basis. Stay away from him until he shows he can be a run producer.
May 18, 2009
Kevin Millar went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in Monday's 3-2 win over the White Sox at the Rogers Centre. His other knock was a single.
Our View:
Millar snapped a 14-game drought without a home run. He also collected his 13th RBI and raised his season average to .299.
March 13, 2009
Kevin Millar was 1-for-3 with an RBI in Toronto's victory over the Rays Friday. He is hitting .313 with seven runs batted in this spring.
Our View:
Millar is having a fine preseason so far and should be able to accrue a decent number of at-bats at DH and in spot starts at first if he makes the team out of spring training.
March 7, 2009
Kevin Millar was 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Blue Jays' 7-2 win over the Reds on Saturday. He started at first base.
Our View:
Millar should make his way onto this roster and he could see a lot of action at DH, especially if one of the fielders spends any time on the DL. He is 4-for-11 this spring with two home runs and a double.
February 25, 2009
Kevin Millar got the start at first base for the Blue Jays on Wednesday. He was 0-for-1 with a walk.
Our View:
Lyle Overbay is recovering from his third hernia surgery, but he will likely be the starting first baseman. Millar is on a minor-league deal, but should have a good chance at making the roster.
February 11, 2009
Kevin Millar has inked a minor league deal with the Blue Jays, according to Toronto's official site. The contract includes an invite to major league spring training.
Our View:
Millar is certainly making his rounds in the American League East, previously spending three-year stints with both the Orioles and Red Sox. He hit 20 home runs last year to go with 72 RBI, so he still has some power left, but his .234 average makes him a bottom of the order type player if he can break into the starting lineup.
February 5, 2009
Kevin Millar is nearing a deal with the Blue Jays, according to the NY Post.
Our View:
The Jays are in the market for a right-handed bat off the bench, and Millar will be a good choice as he crushed 20 homers with 72 RBI with Baltimore in 2008. The Rangers and Nationals were also interested in Millar.
February 2, 2009
The Blue Jays may be interested in free agent first baseman Kevin Millar, MLB.com reports.
Our View:
Millar makes sense for the Blue Jays. They projected to start Lyle Overbay at first base and Adam Lind at DH, and both of those guys swing from the left side. Millar would offer a right-handed option for both spots.
January 30, 2009
Kevin Millar will not be offered a contract to remain with the Orioles, according to the Baltimore Sun. Millar is surprised and said, "Yeah, the bottom line is, obviously, they want to go in a different direction. Now, what that means, I do not know. Are they going to win games this year? No. Obviously we know that going in. You have got to be realistic."
Our View:
The Phillies and Pirates are known to be interested in Millar as a right-handed bat for the bench. He only held a .234 batting average in 2008, but hit 20 homers with 72 RBI.
January 27, 2009
Kevin Millar is on the Phillies' radar, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The club covets a right-handed bat, and insurance for Pedro Feliz and Chase Utley, who are both coming off surgeries. Millar crushed 20 homers last season in Baltimore, with 72 RBI and 73 runs scored. His fantasy value would be limited as a reserve in Philadelphia, but would be a solid addition to the club.
January 11, 2009
Kevin Millar would only be a last option for the Baltimore Orioles, and the team would sign him if they can not find a better solution, according to MASNsports.com.
Our View:
Millar is mostly known for being a part of the Red Sox, but has spent a number of nondescript years in Baltimore. He's not a fantasy option for anybody, and isn't likely to be a regular no matter where he signs.
