The Giants have signed 28-year old lefty starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis to a minor league deal. Willis has pitched in 15 games (13 starts) this season for the Tigers & D-Backs and he is 2-3 with a 5.62 ERA and a 1.95 WHIP. Willis’ big problem this season has been his control as he has walked 56 batters in only 65 2/3 innings this year. Willis has now pitched in 192 games (189 starts) in his 8 years in the majors and he is 71-63 with a 4.12 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. The Giants will likely leave Willis in the minors until they determine he has earned either a shot or his release.
