Is it fitting that Dontrelle Willis is being traded to the team with the worst ERA in baseball?  Regardless, the Tigers pulled the trigger on a trade that sent Willis to the team he was hoping to go play for.  In return, the Tigers got Billy Buckner, a right hander.  Before you get too excited, Buckner has a career 6.25 ERA in 138 1/3 major league innings but he’s pitched fairly well the past couple of years in the minors so the Hens should be able to put him to use.  Buckner was picked in the second round of the 2004 draft by the Kansas City Royals and he has the distinction of being picked ahead of Hunter Pence and Dustin Pedoria.
