December 19, 20241 yr 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, 20241 yr by WestEddy
December 19, 20241 yr 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.

Trying to contemplate how a guy that signed for $1.05 million will perform.

December 19, 20241 yr 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.

December 19, 20241 yr 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.

December 19, 20241 yr 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.
December 19, 20241 yr Really good numbers in 2023, decent last year. Had a nice postseason. Wonder if Walker McKinven also vouched for him.

December 20, 20241 yr 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?
December 20, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Paulie4Pres said: "Girthy". Lol. The man is fat. Not in the Pirates picture. However, it looks like he gained some pounds with the Brewers. Too many Leinies and cheddarwursts.
December 20, 20241 yr 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.
