What a shame. Not only did we lose a prospect for this-- who has struggled this season but now seams to have turned a corner-- the retarded Dave Dombrowski felt compelled to "lock-up" Willis with a big & expensive multiyear contract. And like Nate Robertson, this team is compelled to put him in the rotation in order to chase after sunk cost. This is much like the Barry Zito situation, but with two dud pictures instead of one. This is turning out to be a nightmare of a season where every single off-season move is a disaster. I get the feeling that Dontrelle’s career as an effective pitcher is just about over. What a shame.

Charlotte tried a double-steal in the 5th with one out, and Dontrelle picked off the runner taking 3rd, and drove the runner trying to take 2nd back to 1st. He was also struggling on staying ahead of hitters in the count. I was lucky enough to be at the game, and Dontrelle got lucky.
