Willis may come back in the second half. If Willis gets hit in his first start,look for much of the same the rest of the way. May look to fade Willis against winning clubs the rest of the way.
Willis ?
- Thread starter bryanz
- Start date
he needs to wear his hat straight,i hate that ghetto look,him and that c.c.sabathia of the indians wear there hats like they are in a gang.
Look back at the numbers and you will note that Willis has been a play ON before the All-Star break and a play AGAINST after the All-Star break.
Use his figures to profit accordingly as the public will continue to support him just on his season stats and not what is happening and what has happened in years past.
Willis got off to such a good start this season that he will show good base numbers for the rest of the season. Now is the capitalise as there is some value to be found.
Since Willis broke into the Major's a pattern has started to show. His numbers before the All-Star break (life-time) are 29-10 (W/L) with a 2.83 ERA. Post All-Star and he's 8-13 (W/L) with a 4.79 ERA.
I believe this pattern will continue, play on Willis pre All-Star, play against Willis post All-Star.
Is delivery uses up alot of energy and working in the heat and humidity of Miami, there must be a physical toll on him as the season wears on. This season, the has started earlier, due in the main because of the high number of pitch counts he went through in the early months.
Since June 1st Willis has given up 80 hits, thats the most by any starter since that date. Prior to June 1st Willis was 8-2 and had already pitched 70 innings allowing 56 hits with 57 K's. But since then he'a allowed 80 hits with only 42 strikeouts. And in his last three starts, he has looked like a very tired pitcher.
In 2003 Willis pitched 82 1/3 innings prior to the All Star game. In 2004 it was 104 2/3. This season he was already at 128, and his last few starts demonstrate how that number of innings pitched has started to take it's toll. In his last three starts against the Cubs, Phillies and Giants he's lasted only 13 innings combined, allowing 23 runs on 25 hits, with only seven strikeouts. Naturally the Marlins lost each time. In terms of the south Florida heat cranking up, he has had three home starts since June 1st. In those three games he's allowed 17 runs on 30 hits in 18 innings, with only 12 strikeouts.
Willis will still have good stuff for the remainder of the season, but it will not be excellant stuff as he has demonstrated in the early months of the season. He will however be priced as an excellant pitcher which offers plenty of line value because all the public see are good numbers in the stats overall and not what has he done recently. It goes without saying that when a pitcher opens 7-0 with a 1.08 ERA, it is almost impossible for the statistics to ever return a league average in the same season.
