Salvage Dontrelle Willis in a different light

[nick]

he HAS no future. O_O

I'm not really sure what to think of Willis. Several years ago, when he was a hot, young pitcher, I said that I did not like his mechanics. They were too hard on his body and did not lend themselves to being easy to replicate. Its really tough for a coach to spot flaws when little is consistant. He got by on uniqueness and by throwing the ball past people. The Marlins made a great trade when they moved him to the Tigers. Rick Knapp has worked with him quite a bit and will continue doing so. Perhaps they could put him on the 60 day DL and send him to their extended spring training complex just to work on his mechanics?
All of this said, I think he might be done as a pitcher. Not sure if he can stick as a hitter in the AL, either. Maybe make him into a corner outfielder?

Trade him to the Mets. At this point, he could play 1B and bat cleanup for us.

.....of course, once coming to the Mets, he'd undoubtedly end up back on the DL.....

He could probably hit better than the cheap knock off Reyes they're using, o_O

Zito, you could hit better than Our-HEINOUS(Argenis) Reyes.
