Remember when I wrote these words about Justin Wilson?
Slowly but surely, Wilson has begun to look like the guy the Cubs traded for last summer. This month for Wilson: eight appearances, 7u2154 innings, three hits, two walks, eight strikeouts, no runs allowed. In addition to the (obvious) 0.00 ERA in May, that’s a 0.652 WHIP. You can be sure that Joe Maddon would love to use Wilson in more high-leverage situations and maybe he can now. Wilson has certainly cut down on the walks, a big issue for him last year. His overall walk rate this year is 6.
