July 23, 200619 yr I was always intrigued with the Whisler pick and I love it that he is having so much success this season. If he carries the success the rest of the season in AA and starts next year in AAA im going to be really excited about him. Other than possibly Lumdsen I think I like what his potential in the bigs are the most. Edited July 23, 200619 yr by SoxFan101
July 23, 200619 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) Wes has that era under 3 now. He's definitely come a long way so far this year. Trying to get an interview set up with him to discuss any potential changes he's made.

July 24, 200619 yr For some reason I could of swore Whisler was promoted.... anyways when you do an interview with him maybe find out if he knows anything about being promoted in the near future.

Harrell and Russell have been promoted. Unless a trade is made, there is just no room in the Birmingham rotation for Wes. Edited July 24, 200619 yr by Rowand44

I can guarantee you one thing: Whatever changes he made, they were b/c of working with J.R. Perdew. It's only a matter of time before this guy is a major league pitching coach (he's only late 30s, early 40s), but we could always hope he just likes being in the minors, and wants to stick with us. The longer he's in our system, the better it will be for our young prospects b/c working with him is a career changer. Anyway, if you want to find out more about J.R.'s help to our minor leaguers, check out the upcoming interviews with Lucas Harrell and Adam Russell b/c they both raved about him.
