First Steve Blass, then Mark Wohlers, now Dontrelle Willis?

I remember how then-Atlanta Braves closer Mark Wohlers was a sight to behold. If you were a Houston Astros fan, you cringed at the idea of seeing Wohlers come into a game to protect a close lead.

And then Wohlers couldn't find the plate. He became erratic, hitting batters and walking others before playing himself out of the league.

Add to that Dontrelle Willis.

The once up-and-coming dominant lefthander of the Florida Marlins is now wondering where his career go as he languishes with a high ERA with the Detroit Tigers. Now, he's on the 15-day disabled list for an anxiety disorder.

Last year, Willis went 0-2 with a 9.38 ERA for the Tigers.
