"Here's what's alarming about Willis as he prepares to meet the Twins next week:

He does not appear to be overpowering anyone. He's not throwing one particular pitch with any special gusto. He walks his share of batters. He strikes out only a few more. He gives up basically one hit per inning.

And that's at Triple A. Move him into The Metrodome against a Twins team that pecks and pounds at you and Willis could have picked more comfortable spots and teams to begin his comeback.

But that seems to be the whole point here. Either he can pitch or he can't. Either he can get hitters out, on any team, at any place, or he can't."
