Message #1155 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Reedster   Subject :   Dontrelle Willis is just stunning so far in 2005; pitches complete game shutout against the Phils Date :   4/13/05, 12:22pm Is this the same guy who I traded Hideki Matsui for last year in one of my leagues, only to watch him further bring my team down? Great year so far for this guy, and I like him, actually. But, truth be told, if I had him on my fantasy team, I would be trying to sell him high RIGHT NOW. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1155 • Back to Topics 6360 reads 1705 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!

If I remember correctly. I don't think that Dontrelle is going to be one of the greatest pitchers in the game, but he definitely makes an impact on a rotation. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1156 • Back to Topics 6994 reads

Yes, he's streaky. However, for BBM purposes, he doesn't have to face a DH because he is in the NL. Moreover, he is a valuable left hander. There are not as many left handed starting pitchers as right handed starting pitchers. I think that elevates Dontrelle's value. When (& only when!) Willis is on his game, he is every bit as good as Johan Santana in my opinion. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1157 • Back to Topics 6991 reads

Before the draft began, I thought that Dontrelle would be one of the best sleeper picks of the year. So far, so good. Willis is the first pitcher to start out the season with two consecutive shutouts since '82, the year he was born. Dontrelle has tremendous potential and is a throwback kind of player from yesteryear. He reminds me of a left-handed version of Juan Marischal, especially with that high leg kick when delivering the pitch. In 62 games, he has an ERA in the area of 3.50. Not too shabby for a 23-year-old. Mark my words, Dontrelle Willis is a future Cy Young award winner. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1170 • Back to Topics 6991 reads

At this rate, it might be THIS season. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1221 • Back to Topics 6989 reads
