Now I don't know what you do with him, but I'm taking Arroyo, Cueto, Leake, Bailey, and Wood over him and I want to see what Dontrelle Willis has in him. Yeah I know, he was 17-6 with a low 3 ERA a couple years ago, but he's clearly not the same pitcher and hasn't been all season.
Like Tommy John pitchers are prone to be - having command problems, EV with his key pitch, the fastball, is having those problems. They sent him to the minors to work on regaining his command. The problem was he didn't regain it, but they brought him back anyway. He needs to go to the minors for a long time. He has no big contract by his own choice. Let him earn his way back!

1. Cueto
1a. Leake

3a. Arroyo
3b. Volquez
