Welcome to the A.L. Dontrelle

Exciting news from my friend Hugh Surratt tonight, who informed me that the Detroit Tigers had acquired the highly coveted Miguel Cabrera, and a possibly vastly undervalued Dontrelle Willis (one of my favorite players). Cabrera's talents are well-documented, and Dontrelle has slipped over the past year or two but has also had many moments of greatness, such as his 2 homer game against the Mets.

If the AL is still more curve ball oriented, he could easily have a resurgence and be a force on the mound again. I'm pretty sure it will happen. He will also benefit from being different from most of the other pitchers style-wise, which is rough on hitters over a series. What about the saying that you never trade a lefty under 30? Dontrelle should have many good years left and I wish him and Cabrera the best in the American League. Hopefully I'll get out there to see a game this year. Obviously, those tickets have become harder to get in the past few years!
