The problem was when he was shifted to the 7 hole because Castillo came up anemic. I see no problem keeping him as long as he's in that 8 hole.

He might be fixable but with that contract and the amount of time/work a team would have to put in to fix him it probably wouldn't be worth it to trade for him. His issues run a lot deeper than change of scenery or a few mechanical issues or luck or anything. Willis is nearly a lost cause.
