WestEddy Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 (edited) The Brewers used Wilson differently for a while. In alternate starts, Jerod Koenig would pitch the first inning, then Wilson would come in and pitch 5. He seemed to be a bit more effective pitching the 2nd through the 6th innings than being the true starter. game logs: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=wilsobr02&t=p&year=2024 Edited December 19 by WestEddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT35 Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 If he’s awful, they’ll just let him play out another punt year here. If he’s amazing, he could end up flipped to the Dodgers at the deadline for…well…no one actually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to contemplate how a guy that signed for $1.05 million will perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 This is a very low-risk move. If Bannister see's something in him, then let's give it a chance. Exact type of move Getz should be looking at for the MLB level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 23 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Girthy, but he’s doing just fine… Hopefully he has a better career with the Sox than Steven Wilson at least...if anything, he should be good enough to log some "swingman" garbage innings, he did that to a -0.2 result last year (over 100 IP) with the Brewers and has an overall 0.2 fWAR for his career, which is better than 70-75% of the 2024 pitching staff.

hogan873 Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 We often see these beefy pitchers able to stay healthy...by healthy I mean not getting hurt and missing time. So, that could bode well, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted December 19 Share Posted December 19 Really good numbers in 2023, decent last year. Had a nice postseason. Wonder if Walker McKinven also vouched for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 20 Share Posted December 20 Maybe the Sox will strike gold with some pitcher acquisitions like KC did last offseason. Last to first baby? Kidding but what if this is just a start to signing a batch of arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 20 Share Posted December 20 On 12/18/2024 at 3:38 PM, hi8is said: Mined from the comments section of MLBTR’s article covering this transaction: ”Laugh at this move today, but someone investing in giving this kid a starting job and a season to see what he really can do is worthwhile. Look back at his playoff start against the Dodgers. Wilson has lights out stuff when it’s working, and is a great project for Bannister to work on.” Dude sounds like he is familiar with this Wilson cat - and if this sentiment is true, this is exactly the type of guy we should be signing. Informative siphoning of MLBTR. I thought I was going to read all jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
