Its not because he isn't good enough for AA, or AA. He's being sent to the FSL because that is their Spring Training complex, and there is going to be more organizational supervision there.

Oh, I know. I am just amazed at how far he has fallen. He had the huge extension and now is in the minors.

 

What a horrid start so far for the Tigers.

Yeah, its not good. It isn't that surprising though. Willis has never had picture perfect mechanics. Too many things can, and have, gone wrong in that delivery. One wonders if he hadn't had so much success in 2003 if they would have tried to fix this before now.

his control last night was almost Ankiel bad

 

that guys in need of a lot of fixing

but 2003 wasn't his only successful year.

I know. I refrenced 2003 because that was the year he broke onto the scene. At that point maybe FLA just didn't want to try and change which wasn't yet broke.

Pretty much Barry Zito 2.0.

Should we offer Rich Hill for Willis? :rotfl:

With his contract, maybe Bobby Hill

[Post Count Padder]

I knew he'd do worse in the AL, but geez.

Rick Petersen can do it in 10 minutes.

This always happens to child stars when they grow up, they get wild.

Booooo. [-X

 

Okay actually that was pretty good.

This is no surprise. I can understand the Tigers trading for Cabrera but Willis is damaged goods. He showed nothing last year that would indicate he would find his 2005 form again.
