HUGE start for Tyler Wilson today.

Wilson pitched into the fourth inning two outings ago ? then pitched just two innings in the intrasquad game ? so it appears that the club is shortening him up as the regular season approaches, possibly preparing him for a major league bullpen role.Wilson pitched into the fourth inning two outings ago ? then pitched just two innings in the intrasquad game ? so it appears that the club is shortening him up as the regular season approaches, possibly preparing him for a major league bullpen role

You would think that getting him used to a shorter warm up routine would be the plan if they wanted to use him in relief.

DD would have to be nuts to trade Wilson given that we already have depleted the organization of almost every possible starting pitcher arm in the last three years.

I doubt he is being shopped around, just trying to drum up drama.

HUGE!

A good performance and he probably gets a spot. A bad one, we all panic and the Orioles realize they need more help than they thought from outside the organization.

I want to seem him do well and think he will. To me, he is the only pitcher we have right now that can start. Worley is not very good and Wright is a reliever. Our lack of starting depth frightens me, really would love to have Davvies back, heck even would love to have Logan Verrett.

Not all of us will panic.

You know when I'll really start panicking? When I start to panic over a minor league pitcher in a spring training baseball game.

So Wilson is pitching to get the last spot in the bullpen over Roe and TJ? Or is the 13 pitchers idea back on the table?

Spring Training means nothing' date=' so I've been told [/quote']

ST stats don't mean much. Bot no one said ST means nothing.

Suggests to me that they're not seriously considering him for the OD rotation.

Reading Wilson's interview he sounded a little surprised they pulled him. Could be that something is up. Maybe a short start to tweak his day to actually place him in the rotation?

[crowmst3k!]

Even with his lack of K's, I don't think there's a way that Wilson doesn't make the rotation.

He has such heavy sink, and the results this spring speak for themselves.

He could be Chien-Ming Wang for us.

[El Gordo]

We only need to start the season with 4 SP. Either they want Wilson as the #8 RP or he will start in Norfolk and possibly be brought up to pitch G 6 if Gausman isn't ready.

I like that theory a lot better than turning him into a reliever.

Yeah, Wilson isn't a strikeout pitcher. I think the Wang comparison is spot on if he ends up being a solid rotation piece for us with a GB rate over 50%.

So who do you have as our 4th SP, assuming Gausman is out and Wilson is next man up at Norfolk?

Tillman, Ubaldo, Gallardo, ...? Gonzo?

If Scott is correct, Wilson would be pitching Game 4, 4/8. Going backwards, his natural pitching days would be 4/3 (off) and 3/29 (vs Braves) and today 3/24 vs PIT.

[Aristotelian]

In Gordo's scenario, they would be holding Wilson as a backup for 4/10 with Plan A being Gausman. If they want Wilson's natural day to fall on 4/10, they would want him pitching 3/26, 3/31, and 4/5 (O's off). So could be they will stretch him out on the 31st?

I think they would have Gallardo pitching G #4 because he is a week behind.

13 is completely off. Matusz is DL, Maybe Gausman.

Tyler is pitching to be five. And not just for a week.

He's gonna be great, like he always is.

He really is coming into his own, could go up with the team come April
