When he snapped those curves over and then when he embarrassed/abused/noogied Avila I thought "Crap, that looked like a Tom Seaver or something."
Then I thought: Man we have a whole gaggle of fine young starters hanging about.
I'm not sure that I wouldn't give Wilhelmsen an 80 pitch start sometime in June. Just to see what the heck that would look like.
He's looked sharper. But I don't think I've ever been as impressed with him. He sucked it up, tooled people with the Uncle Charlie and then threw a Sidd Finch (or what must have looked like one) heater that was essentially unhittable.
I think he hit 97 on one pitch, certainly 96. He's got an easy 93 in inning 6.
He's a fearsome weapon where he is, and maybe even more fearsome if we include whatever the M's could get for Brandon League in trade......Not that I'm suggesting that. Options, though. Options.
But I would like to see that start, just for fun.
Bartender? Bah! moe
