Cubs Sign Dontrelle Willis, Can Someone Say Championship?
(Source) The long journey taken by Dontrelle Willis apparently is coming back to where it began — with the Cubs.
The Cubs have signed the left-hander, whom they drafted in 2000, to a minor league contract. The deal is pending a physical and does not include an invitation to the major league camp.
The Cubs traded the high-kicking Willis to the Marlins in 2002 and he won a league-high 22 games with a 2.63 ERA in 2005. His career headed downhill quickly after that.
Two seasons ago, he was 1-6 for the Reds and then last year retired from baseball after a short stint with the Orioles.
D-Train in Chicago???
PS
Literally had no idea Dontrelle Willis was still alive. Just Cubs doing Cubs, signing dead baseball players that haven’t been good for 10 years.
Would’ve rather spent the money on more urinal cakes for the stadium.
over/under 7 starts total
Could probably bat him third in that lineup.
Willis wouldn’t make it out of training camp. And if he does, he will likely be the bullpen catcher.
I laugh, until I remember the Sox are currently negotiating with Javier Vazquez. Then I cry.
What’s less surprising than the Cubs making awful baseball decisions is that Cubs fan called the World Series the Championship. I bet the Cubs are gonna score a lot of points this year and make tons of home runs on their way to winning the baseball championship. It’s actually bad EVEN for a Cubs fan. I think Neil might be blogging on BigCat’s account…
look I hate baseball as much as most people should because it’s the biggest joke of a sport except for nascar, but technically when a team wins the World Series, they are the World Series “champions”. Making “championship” a viable term.
People should hate baseball? Something tells me @maxypad is a soccer fan…
Dtrains got a nice bad. i was at the game where he hit two dingers against the mets. ridiculous
