Thread: Tigers sign Dontrelle through 2011

    What is the rule on dead players?

    Realistically, even for single A ball, 4 hits and two walks in 7+ innins is pretty solid. Considering the hits/walks had to be lumped together to make 4 runs he might be puttin gtogether some solid innings. I have a feeling that if he can get his touch and his confidence back, he could still be a good major league pitcher. I haven't given up on him..........yet.

    I haven't given up on him either. I just don't think he'll be worth his contract.

    If he can give us 12 wins, 4.50 ERA, and 190 innings for each of the last 2 years of his deal, I'll be very pleased.

    "A lot of organizations would have just let him battle through it, but they did not want him to get to a point of no return," Sosnick said during a telephone interview. "They did their best to get him into a pressure-free environment where he could get a lot of specialized attention."

    Sosnick said Willis has lost 15 pounds since he reported to the minors.

    "He's got a lot of pride," Sosnick said. "I think he's going to be great for Detroit. I think he will have two great seasons in a row."

    Good - I honestly believe that's Dontrelle's biggest problem - he just seems out of shape.

    Leyland says Dontrelle and Freddy Garcia will both get starts for the Tigers next week.

    This looks like a real bust, but it won't be a huge deal. Every team has a few bad contracts they just dust under the rug(like the Yankees).
