We'll all wait and see, but Wilhelmsen has not yet established a ceiling. He could pull a Colby Lewis in the 2H, for all we know, as well as he could pull a Steve Blass on opening night :- )

I love Jack Zduriencik. He's got a Piniella-class thirst for victory.
100,000 words around town about saving a few $ on Pineda, and about 10 asking "What if he is the catalyst for a surprise season?"
