Jon Heyman over at SI.COM said that the rangers are again shopping Vincente Padilla and Kevin Millwood and their 2 year, 12 million per contracts. The very bad part is, he has the braves as a team that is interested....My response......
Oh god no!
I hope there is no way in hell that the braves are considering trading for Millwood or Padilla. I can understand the thinking, that we could get a nice veteran piece for a low prospect price if we take on their salary because they have been disappointments, but it just makes no sense. A bargain trade for Braves does not consist of bringing in Padilla or Millwood for two years because they would cost less than Burnett or Lowe would. A bargain trade is when you get a valuable asset to your team at a reasonable price. If the braves are going to target a pitcher with the type of price tags that tha Padilla and Millwood have to offer, I would much rather go talk to KW about Javy Vazquez, as he has the health and production track record to at least kinda verify his price tag.
STAY AWAY FROM TEXAS PITCHERS WREN, STAY AWAY

haha, I was JUST coming on here to see if anyone had posted about that. Seriously, I can’t think of a worse acquisition than one of those guys.
Ok, I take that back. Worse would be both of those guys…

we could do worse than millwood. his stuff is still solid and as a flyball pitcher, he would benefit tremendously by moving out of that hitters haven in texas and a move to the NL. the splits arent pretty and dont support the move but in looking at the start by start breakdown, its clear that he isnt useless. but HELL no on padilla. dont want that psycho on the team. bat shit crazy

Hopefully...
this is just another case of too many sportswriters with nothing to do but speculate wildly to try to get a story on the air! FW: stay away!
