One and only Dontrelle Willis thread...

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

Well, Dontrelle didn't have his best outing of the year today, but he moved to 9-1. In the outing, his ERA went up to 2.08. He's slippin'.

 

In other news, Luis Castillo was named to the All Star team to replace Marcus Giles. Whoo-hoo.

 

Discuss all Dontrelle related phenom business here. (This could be the thread used in October to discuss his Cy Young win).

How about overhyped? How about Mark Fydrich? Seriously I'm already sick of Dontrelle Willis.

Yay, he's having a good season and he's young.

 

He'll be a Yankee in a year or two...

He plays for the Marlins.

 

Anything that makes anything related to Jeffrey Loria look good, I hate.

So far Willis has been the real deal. I also like the kid's attituted and apparant respect for the game. So let's see where he is in a few years, but I am hoping he continues to have success.

I liked how he handled himself on an interview with Fox before thier game of the week the other day. He's got a great attitude, and pops big ratings in Florida like they haven't seen since the '97 World Series. With all the buzz he's created, he's almost like the LeBron James of baseball...and I think he should be starting the All-Star Game against Halladay, who has won 13 in a row.

[Guest Choken One]

Who is starting the game?

 

Halladay I thought was taken out because Toronto Head Coach asked Scosica not to play him...

 

I'd go with the Chicago Pitcher, Loazia or whatever the fuck...

[Guest treble charged]

Halladay's available, but I think he'll only pitch an inning, so he likely won't start.

[Bored 0]

All pitchers who pitched today are out of discussion for starting since none will go more than one inning and that includes Willis. Jason Schmidt has all but been officially named the N.L. starter and Esteban Loaiza is the best bet for the A.L. but still a chance it will be Jamie Moyer.

I'm sick of Lima

[Guest Vern Gagne]

I like the guy but Brandon Webb's numbers are very similiar. He might have better stuff overall has well.

[Guest alkeiper]

I give Willis a much better chance to succeed than Fidrych. People forget that Fidrych never struck anyone out, a key indicator of future success. Willis has a good K rate and BB rate.

[Guest Choken One]

Was Fidrych the dude who talked to the Baggie or whatever?

[Guest alkeiper]

Yeah. He talked to the ball all the time.
