Why won't anybody listen to Felz?
My hunch is that Eric Milton is overrated because he's an ex-Yankee prospect, his status partially the result of an unending desire to ridicule Steinbrenner, in this case for the Knoblauch trade. Steinbrenner panicked and ruined the team, like he always does, like he's going to do again.
He traded away "all stars" like Guzman and Milton. Boy, the Yankees could sure use Milton now!
I don't even particularly want Milton back on the Yankees. He's 29 years old and his career stats are 71-57, 4.76 era.
Not that baseball-reference.com has the answer to everything, but if you don't think Milton's overrated with his $9 mill contract, take a look at the players to whom he's "Most Similar":
Brett Tomko
Armando Reynoso
Chris Carpenter
Mark Clark
Curt Young
Sterling Hitchcock
