Dontrelle Willis walks out on the Orioles without permission

[Tony-OH]

Funny line from that story:

Oh my god, that literally made me giggle out loud. Is that GOLing?

[SammyBirdland]

Dontrelle Willis has agreed to drop his grievance. The Orioles will allow him to start in the minor leagues once he builds up arm strength at extended Spring Training.

Ha! He'll be starting with the big club by July.

[incubus]

Glad everything worked out, hope no one has hurt feelings.

[Aglets]

Anyone think Willis will still be in the organization by July?

[Gurgi]

Seems they both blinked.

[Rene88]

Ha! He'll be starting with the big club by July.

How about Friday?

Yes...

Why not? He's at least a serviceable AAA relief pitcher.

[Mr Snuffleupagus]

Why not? He's at least a serviceable AAA relief pitcher.

Well, considering he refuses to pitch in relief it's hard to call him serviceable.

[DrungoHazewood]

Well, considering he refuses to pitch in relief it's hard to call him serviceable.

Ok, so he's a serviceable AAA 5th starter.

I hope he does well.

[scOtt]

I hope he does well too (of course) but I'm not holding my breath. I have higher hopes for Moyer.

Rich Rundles is starting in place of Willis. I don't know why.
