The Detroit Tigers promote Dontrelle Willis to AAA

Blogged under General, Front Page, The Minors, Bloglockers by chinmusic on Wednesday 13 August 2008 at 8:19 pm

The Tigers have promoted 25-year old lefty starting pitcher Dontelle Willis to AAA-ball. He has pitched in 9 games (8 starts) in A+AAA ball this season and he is 1-4 with a 4.47 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. If he pitches well in his first couple of starts the Tigers will likely give him another chance. Willis was awful for them earlier this season as he pitched in 5 games (4 starts) in which he was 0-1 with a 10.32 ERA and a 2.47 WHIP. He walked an amazing 21 batters in only 11.1 innings with the Tigers. That will not be tolerated if he gets another chance soon with the Tigers.
