    RIP to a talented pitcher, who was stuck pitching for some really bad Mets teams.

    Agreed. Willey was a talented young pitcher whose career was ended prematurely by an injury, like Herb Score. Roger Craig once told me you have to be a good pitcher to lose that many games, otherwise they would stop giving you the ball.

    The man had himself a jaw, you have to give him that.
