The pitcher known as Starlord was one of the scant few bright spots in the Tigers' bullpen last season. To climb the depth chart again, Wilson will need to generate more whiffs.
When we last saw Alex Wilson, he was fighting a desperate (and ultimately futile) rearguard action as one of the few bright spots in the Tigers' 2015 bullpen. Acquired in the deal that brought Yoenis Cespedes to Detroit from the Boston Red Sox, Wilson didn't even break camp with the Tigers. Yet, after a late-April call-up, his consistency in a wide variety of situations throughout a difficult 2015 campaign was impressive for a guy in his second season in the major leagues.
