01/24/2012 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle Mariners have signed veteran pitcher Kevin Millwood to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Millwood made nine starts with the Colorado Rockies late last season after spending time in the minor league organizations of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. He was 4-3 with a 3.98 earned run average for Colorado after joining the Rockies in early August.
The 37-year-old right-hander owns a career record of 163-140 with a 4.10 ERA in 423 games, all but eight of which have come as a starter. He broke in with Atlanta in 1997 and pitched for the Braves through 2002, then spent time with Philadelphia, Cleveland, Texas and Baltimore over the following eight seasons.
"Kevin brings a great deal of experience as a veteran pitcher and will compete for a spot in our starting rotation," said Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik in a statement. "His leadership and experience will be a benefit for our young pitchers and we look forward to seeing him in spring training."
The Mariners lost one of their top pitchers from last season earlier this week when they dealt Michael Pineda to the New York Yankees for top catching prospect Jesus Montero.
Millwood appeared in the postseason with Atlanta from 1999-2002, and was an All-Star with the Braves in 1999.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
