After a second straight terrible outing, Dontrelle Willis has been demoted all the way down to Single A.

As recently as two days ago, I said that the Tigers needed to calm down and Willis would probably be fine. Then I saw Monday’s game and saw Willis missing the strike zone by feet. Two wild pitches in one at-bat followed by a batting practice fastball that got belted into the stratosphere. Whatever’s wrong with Dontrelle (and some might argue that he’s just a mediocre 3-starter who had an aberration year in 2005) goes well beyond the AL/NL league change.

Maybe the dude just needs some at-bats.
