I’m guessing he’s not a candidate for future D-Backs Legends Races. The D-backs shook up their pitching staff on Sunday, designating veteran left-hander Dontrelle Willis for assignment…
Since being acquired from the Tigers on June 1, Willis compiled a 1-1 record with a 6.85 ERA. Control continued to be an issue for the hurler, as he tallied 27 walks compared to 14 strikeouts while with the D-backs…
After Willis struggled as a starter in Arizona, the D-backs decided to move him to the ‘pen in hopes that it would help him get straightened out. But on Saturday, Willis allowed three runs in one inning of work, an outing that apparently sealed his fate.

1. Obi One Kenobi NilSince then he's gone all Scott Erickson on the league. (Or Steve Trachsel; take your pick.) Many more walks than Ks.
If you go back to 2003 and tell people that by 2010 Willis would be in the worst shape of the Beckett / Pavano / Penny / Willis bunch, you will most likely be laughed out of the house.
Just what I was thinking. He's got very good numbers for a guy who doesn't take BP daily, and he's probably fast enough to play centerfield.
I don't know about that. All three of those other guys were top-ten prospects at one point. A likely outcome? Maybe not, but I doubt you'd have been laughed out of the room.
I had forgotten that all of those guys, plus a mostly injured A.J. Burnett and Mark Redman having his career year, were on the 2003 Marlins. Wow.
