Dontrelle Willis (0-1) had the highest ERA for starting pitchers in the Majors* until today with a cool 10.32 ... until today. Today, Willis was demoted to Class A baseball in Lakeland, Florida for no specific time frame.
After signing a 3 year, 29$ Million deal in Detroit, Willis has walked 21 batters 11 1/3 innings. His last outing was by the far the worst however. Willis pitched for 1 1/3 inning and had 8 earned runs with 5 walks and 3 hits.
Last year the trade between the Marlins and Tigers received heavy criticism on both ends, good and bad. The Marlins were once again criticized for letting young talent go after having some success, letting go Cabrera and Dontrelle; while the Tigers were criticized for putting too much faith in these young guys and risking a little too much.
Since the trade, Cabrera has moved to first base with the Tigers' handful of troubles, including Jeremy Bonderman's placement on the DL.
"Our objective is to get Dontrelle back to being Dontrelle," Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski said in an interview with ESPN (from ESPN.com)
*Among starting pitchers with at least 4 starts.
