Diamondbacks Designate Dontrelle Willis for Assignment

Source: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/dbacks-designate-dontrelle-willis-for-assign

According to the article they have DFA'd D-train to bring up Norberto. I'll miss him I was really hoping he could turn it around out here in AZ.  Oh man, what a fall from grace for Mr.Willis 2003 rookie of the year, to being DFA'd twice in one year ouch! Well when there is good news, I guess there is some bad news, but I don't know if this constitutes as bad news.

More analysis from snakecharmer:

Dontrelle Willis started off well with Arizona, throwing 6 shutout innings in his first start June 5th. But he continued to have problems with his control, walking 27 batters in 21 1/3 innings as a starter. He was then moved to the bullpen and allowed 3 earned runs in last night's blowout to the Dodgers.

Jordan Norberto started the season with the big league club as the team's only lefty reliever. He was used sparingly - only 3 total innings in 6 games. He allowed 3 runs in 2/3rds of an inning in San Diego for his only rough outing. According to Steve Gilbert on Twitter, Norberto is already in the clubhouse, so he should be available this afternoon.

They should have put RJ in the old saturday blacks. I know he pitched in Sedona Red, but it just looks weird, I dunno. I can see Williams in the new colors because he is our 1B coach.

Nice strikeout!

Seems kinda repetitive

with Gonzo….
And maybe he looks weird because his neck is bigger than a telephone pole.

wait until you see them in person
but it just looks weird

they had them up on the third level by the kids play area at one point. When RJ leaned over the railing, I feared being so top heavy, he’d just fall over the railing.

This seems like the right decision

Hes put up solid AAA numbers, but does have control issues
