No controversy or hot water for Tom Wilhelmsen, the 26-yr-old coming back after six years off following a substance abuse suspension. For Clinton in the Midwest League playoffs:
7.0 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K
Prior playoff outing:
5.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER (HR), 3 BB, 7 K
That's the kind of lines that Robles was putting up in the A-ball playoffs last year. Hard to tell from this level if he'll stick as a starter, but it seems increasingly likely. Walks might be a concern. He was at 1.2 BB/9 in the lower minors, then up to 3.0 BB/9 at Clinton (and he was at 2.8 in his last go-around in the Midwest League in 2003).
He'll be going to the Peoria Javelinas of the AFL (as will Lueke, for that matter), and it will be interesting to see how he does against higher level hitters.
