June 21, 200322 yr Just saw a brief report on him on ESPN. I might not have seen it correctly, but I thought I saw that he went 20-4 in 2001 in A ball in the Cubs system (before the Marlins trade). When that trade was made, I couldn't believe that the Cubs got Alfonseca and Clement for Tavares. Now I know why.
June 21, 200322 yr Yes, Willis was very highly regarded. He just didn't get as much press because of Prior and Cruz and that he was still in A ball.
June 21, 200322 yr the guy has been nothing less than awesome so far praise to the marlins hopefully they keep him in good health
