Dontrelle Willis - starter to be

The Tigers have announced that Dontrelle Willis will start against the Twins Wednesday.

Ok, let's make sure that the netting behind the plate is secured really, really well. People are going to be sitting in that section, you know.

On a serious note, Willis is a good hitter which makes you wonder if he has studied Rick Ankiel's career path. He would have to lose his recently acquired Pillsbury Dough Boy physique to be a position player but it probably beats tossing pitches into the protective netting on a regular basis.
