I've seen many comments here this morning calling Dontrelle Willis a star, and talking about how much he'll improve the Tigers' staff.
Now, I like Willis, but is he really that good? His ERA (5.17 last season) and WHIP have risen dramatically in the past two years, and his homers allowed has risen from 11 in 2005 to 29 this past season. His strikeouts have remained the same, but he's walking many more batters.
To me, it seems like hitters have figured him out and just sit on his fastball, similar to what they do with Barry Zito. So why does Dontrelle get so much credit?
