He's written some decent columns for the Comicle, but basically I can't stand him. In his last 3 Dot blog he compares the signing of Dontrelle Willis with the Giants to the Warriors signing an aged and decrepit Chris Webber two seasons ago. Dickey writes that it was a very bad idea to give Willis another shot...
Dontrelle may never pitch another inning in the majors, although I hope does. The Giants do need a left handed reliever who can get left handed batters out. However, if Willis falters in the minors, San Francisco will never promote him to to the big club.
This really is a no risk investment in Dontrelle who is still only 28 years old. If he gets his head together and makes a comeback that not too many expect him to do- it will be a great story for the Encinal grad.
Chris Webber was 34 going on 35 when the Warriors brought him back for a second go round with arthritic knees. And he started eight games.
Dontrelle Willis 28 without an injury in MLB is relatively young. His confidence might be lost, but let's just wait and see whether he can come back. I believe Arizona rushed him too fast back to the major leagues...
Forget Bruce Jenkins...
