Just to reiterate for the less-initiated, the best arms are just getting started at low-A: Paxton, Walker and Campos.  And all three could be MLB stars.
As for the starters in between A-ball and the Majors, the ones that I had hope for have mostly disappointed: Hensley, Kasparek, Hill.  Robles is injured.  When Aardsma and Kelley looked close, I figured they would send down Wilhelmsen and stretch him out, precisely because they don't have much in that bracket.  Now that Aardmsa may not come back at all, TW may be stuck in the pen.  But maybe that's where he would end up anyway.
Lonnie is probably right that Gilheeney may be the best bet right now, but I've never sensed much enthusiasm for him.
And it's good to see Lueke pitching effectively, because the other relief specialists that looked like they could move up fast are troubled.  Stephen Pryor was hurt and has been ineffective on his return.  Brian Moran has just been awful.  Don't know what the deal is there.
