June 20, 200719 yr Willis sucked. It's probably injury related, but I may respect Fredi a whole lot more after tonight if it's not. Willis needs a kick in the ass.
June 20, 200719 yr he's losing trade value after every start...and what injury? I was at that indians game and he pitched fine after getting stepped on. He's just got chased out of the game by one of the worst offenses in the game right now. Some ace...
June 20, 200719 yr Willis needs to be traded. I dont care what anyone else says this team will be better with what he can bring in a trade because he is'nt an ace and has'nt been one since 2005 and looking at his yearly trend 2005 has fluke written all over it. What Willis can bring us in a trade will help this team more than he'll do as a player. Unfortunately, but its the truth...
June 20, 200719 yr who's to say that this "injury" isn't just to save face? Didn't they say jorge julio was injured when they sent him down? Doesn't Willis throw warm up tosses? Don't the trainers look at him prior to starting? Just an old fashoned woopin if you ask me.

June 20, 200719 yr yes i understand that...but he gave up 4 runs in that one inning. If a pitcher gets shelled a manager is supposed to remove him before the damage is irreversable. Listen...im not saying an injury isn't possible...i would just like to know how it happened and why he even got the start.
June 20, 200719 yr fredi would have left dontrelle in there if he weren't injured. even with a bad first inning, you want him to eat innings.
June 20, 200719 yr Author You don't pull your starter when you are only down by 1 run after one inning unless it is an injury problem.
June 20, 200719 yr Ironic that on the night of his worst showing this year (and that's nothing to take lightly) he can't stay healthy. What do all his blind supporters say, that at least he's durable. Well... :whistle

June 20, 200719 yr Hes suppossed to start on Sunday vs Johan Santana. Hope he still does. FSN guys said he would.
June 20, 200719 yr Author Before this season I thought it would be crazy to trade him. However, his poor pitching throughout this season has shown me that we should get everything we can for him now, before he loses too much value and becomes a free agent in a couple of years.

Don't the trainers look at him prior to starting? Just an old fashoned woopin if you ask me. With all due respect, don't be such a tool. They were down a run in the early portion of the game. The ONLY way he gets pulled there is due to an injury.Ironic that on the night of his worst showing this year (and that's nothing to take lightly) he can't stay healthy.What do all his blind supporters say, that at least he's durable. Well... :whistle Please explain why he was taken out with us only down a run. Im dying to hear this. How soon we forget that he got STEPPED on in his last start.Your a good poster Swift.......but this one.......its got flies hovering around it.

Me, I'm siding that he's injured. Now, considering this is his worst start of the year and probably as a Marlin, in his worst year of his career, he is now missing the one trump card you like to pull out, that he goes 6 innings every game and won't miss a start. Well, my man, he's no longer unquestionably durable, and he still sucks.

Well, my man, he's no longer unquestionably durable, and he still sucks. LOL. He eats up innings all year and gets hurt and leaves ONE game and he's no longer durable and sucks. Awesome. He'll win 16 games this year. Ban bet?
June 20, 200719 yr Ban bet is off he misses more than one start reference this injury. Okay. We'll see how this injury unfolds and you make up the terms in the meantime. I'm not 100 percent in yet, but I probably will be. Shall we say one month ban? One month sounds appropriate. We'll see how this injury pans out.

June 20, 200719 yr I'd love to work pierremvp in on this too... Anyone want to partner up with me to make it even? Please, I'm definitely in on the Dontrelle side. I'd prefer whip over games won, but I'll go with the wins. One month, one year, forever. Whatever you all decide. Let's just hope the injury is irrelevant and moot in this bet. After all, Dontrelle has not missed a start yet, unlike every other pitcher we have. And he's performed better in his career than anyone else we have.
