According to a book on Dontrelle Willis' agent Matt Sosnick, he called the Players Association in February and learned Willis would likely qualify for salary arbitration for the first time this winter. A National League source confirmed Thursday that Willis is expected to rank among the top 17 percent of big leaguers with between two and three years of service time. What does that "Super 2" status mean for the Marlins? Would you believe a $3.5 million hit? Instead of being able to maintain the hard line on his salary, which has risen slowly from $300,000 to $378,500 this year, the Marlins could be on the hook for as much as $4 million next season. All because Willis was brought up on May 9 his rookie year instead of a week or so later. "Dontrelle," the agent said, "is going to break the bank if he keeps this up."
