Milwaukee Brewers: Can Aaron Wilkerson win the fifth starter job?

You’ve heard of Brent Suter, Junior Guerra, and Yovani Gallardo. However, Aaron Wilkerson is also in the mix for the Milwaukee Brewers fifth starter’s role. Wilkerson is on the outside looking in, right?

Who is Aaron Wilkerson?

He’s a 28-year old starting pitcher who has taken the road less traveled. Wilkerson starred at an NAIA school called Cumberland University from 2008-2011. In 2011 he was diagnosed with a frayed ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and required Tommy John surgery. He went undrafted after his senior year and spent two years out of baseball working at a grocery store.
