Dontrelle Willis Signs Extension with Tigers

ESPN reports lefty starter Dontrelle Willis has signed an extension with the Detroit Tigers. The three-year, $29 million extension buys out his first year of free-agency (which would have been 2009).

Great move for the Tigers right now to lock him up through 2010.

Yeah, I mean, he is a lefty, and compliments a young and great staff...crazy not to lock him away. I think he bounces back with a 17-20 win season.

Yep, I like the move. Way too early to give up on Willis. He was pretty good at the beginning of the 2008 season. He can be again.

Cool Re: Dontrelle Willis Signs Extension with Tigers

I disagree with all of you. He's had 2 lousy years and least year was incredibly lousy, with a 5 ERA and a 1.6 WHIP.

You are just mad cause the Yankees could have used a lefthander like this... You really think he is going to have stats like that in a pitchers park like Detroit?

Exactly. He will be in a pitchers park, and he will have an offense that will bail him out of a few games. They will get early leads and let him pitch relaxed. I say he is a 17+ game winner next season.
