Rich Hill and Dontrelle Willis? Are they going to end up like Rick Ankiel?

Both of these guy were prominent young pitchers and now they can't hit the broad side of a barn with a baseball.

Dontrelle had a change of scenery in Detroit and it only made him worse. Is this partly because of the move to the AL? or is he just having Rick Ankiel disease?

Now Rich Hill has been traded to Baltimore. Do you think he will suffer the same fate as Dontrelle or will he be able to pull through it?? or will he become another Rick Ankiel and not be able to pitch again?

For those of you who didn't know, Rick Ankiel used to pitch for the Cards(before he was a HR machine) and suddenly lost his pitching edge and couldn't find the strike zone and was a danger to opposing batters. So in other words Ankiel was the pitching version of Chuck Knoblach.

Opinions??

Dontrelle is a different case than the other two. The league just adjusted to him and he couldn't adjust back. Using stats like BABIP (batting average for balls in play) and HR/FB (average home runs per fly ball), both measures of how lucky a pitcher was, you can tell he was playing way, way over his head in '05. (check source link and see the differences between '05 and every other year) He did go wild in '08 but that was after a steadier decline, and he was never really that good.

Ankiel and Hill, though, were great in their single years of success in their youth. The original Ankiel/Hill was Steve Blass, though he had several years of success prior. Few pitchers have returned from Steve Blass syndrome, and I don't think Hill will either. Still, it's been only one year, so it's way too early to write him off.
