D-train back on the rails?

If your a Reds fan you more than likely know that Dontrelle Willis (the D-train) is trying to get his MLB career back on the "rails". Willis now 29 broke into the League in 2003 with the Florida Marlins. that year he won the world series,won the Rookie Of the year award,and was an allstar. He played for the Marlins 2003-2007. he has played for 4 teams in his career (Reds,Dbacks,Tigers,and the Marlins.) Willis now with the Reds organization has made it back to the bigs. He is pitching for the Big league club right now,his stats are as follows, wins:0 Loses:1 ERA:3.41 Innings Pitched:29.0 whip;1.41. He has pitched pretty good,but the Reds can't give him run support. Hopefully the Reds can start to give him Runs. Overall i think Willis is a great pitcher,and i hope to see alot more of him in the next couple of years,hopefully still in a Reds uniform.
