Sorry – I forgot the description.

So Detroit is SO DESPERATE for pitching help in the ‘pen that they throw D-Train in there instead of rehab starts.

This is a team with a starters’ ERA of 5.41 through 45 games, and they’re going to throw a starter into the ‘pen to shore it up.

Insanity.

And here I thought this post meant that Carl Willis was going to be reactived and join our BP.

Yes, but not very well.

That hasn’t been a barrier to the Circle of Trust this year. Besides, I think Wedge likes the cut of his jaw.

Harry, I think you got the trains confused. Dontrelle is known as the D-Train, while Willis was known as the Big Train (I believe) when he pitched for the WS-winning Twins.

I enjoyed your post very much!

There’s only one Big Train.

I tried to make Paul Reuschel my Avatar, but he didn't fit into the box.

Willis is the Hummer of starting pitchers, an ugly, expensive, fuel guzzling testament to bad team management, He’s a $29 million batting practice pitcher.
