Dontrelle Is Back in the A.L. East

Hmm.

The Orioles will sign Dontrelle Willis to a minor league contract, report ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (on Twitter).

It doesn't matter, you say? He never became the pitcher he was supposed to be?

Maybe not. But here's what I remember: Red Sox killer. He was once dubbed "future Yankee pitcher Dontrelle Willis" by one of the Sox announcers, perhaps Don Orsillo but I'm not positive.

That was years ago, a different team ... but look who went and signed him. The Orioles. The Duke. What next, Theo signing Mike Mussina to a one-year deal?
