on sending Wilhelmsen to the minors to stretch him out.
Eliminates the "politically" difficult call of axing Ray or Laffey.  Ray will lose the 8th inning gig when Aardsma comes back anyway (by default -- it should be a "demotion" but doesn't have to "play that way" internally).
TW can polish up his game and come back as a starter.  He's shown he's got three pitches, can miss bats, and go deep into games.  And it was the original plan.  Only reason he got thrown into the big league pen was Aardsma's injuiry.  He had been slated for AA rotation when spring began.
Ray and/or Laffey can go later when one of the cast of 1000s from Tacoma's pen -- Justin Miller, Delcarmen, Cortes, Scott Patterson (actually at Jackson) -- gets on a roll.
