I am not really sure what this means but apparently the Cubs have signed Kevin Millar to a one year minor league deal

I think this means that Micah Hoffpauir is screwed and Derek Lee has a new guy to carry his luggage out of the terminal.

Yep. Thats why he never appears on video games. Not in the MLBPA.

I thought it was because he sucks. You learn something every day.

From wikipedia

Video game aliases
Kevin Millar is not a member of the MLBPA (Major League Baseball Players Association), and therefore his name or likeness may not be published in officially-licensed video games. Many games will nevertheless include him and other non-MLBPA players, with fictional names and different appearances. In MVP Baseball 2004, he was not included. In MVP Baseball 2005 and MLB Front Office Manager, Millar is replaced by "Anthony Friese". In Major League Baseball 2K5 and Major League Baseball 2K6, he is replaced by "Carlos Ahearn". In MLB 07: The Show and in MLB 08: The Show he is replaced by "Ivan Jimenez". In Major League Baseball 2K7, Major League Baseball 2K8 and Major League Baseball 2K9, Millar is replaced by "Kyle Morgan", with the same initials. In MLB Power Pros 2008 he is replaced by "Great Johnson". In MLB 09: The Show , on the online roster update, he is replaced by "Dave Herman". In MLB Dugout Heroes, Millar is replaced by "Kane Matthews" with the same initials. In all instances, the statistics of these characters are based on the real Kevin Millar.


I wish we had signed Kane Matthews......

At least they won't have to deal with this dilemna.

Do they save the ball from when the Cubs clinch the attendance championship?

Jordan and Bonds because they owned their likeness. Not becuase they werent in the Players Association.

In the Show 08 Millar is Anthony Friese and he looks like Grady from Sanford and Son.

Sorry - I meant any other prominent players that aren't members of the union?

Rick Reed was a guy for a little while. He was also a scab.

Much ado about nothing...

The Cubs are bringing veteran Kevin Millar to spring training on a minor-league deal with no guaranteed money, team sources said Monday.

Interestingly, that is Greg Oden's video alias as well.

Ron Mahay, Frank Menechino, Matt Herges and Kerry Lightenberg are really the only guys I remember off the list of scab players. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ma ... nt_players

Now I know that Cory Lidle was bad at two things:
1. Not crossing picket lines

2. Flying

This is akin to the Cubs signing So Taguchi and Paul Bako last year. Millar probably will not be a part of this team and if there was ANY signing bonus, it was too much.

While he was in AAA in the Marlins organization he said that team was better than the major league club. His future teammates didn't appreciate that. He's a gigantic douche.
