Do we need to start another AA’s failure thread or just resurrect strikers?

Pretty tough to do. I guess there have been guys who have made it work for a bit. J.A. Happ is the first who comes to mind.
Braves have been pretty good about taking someone like him and teaching him a change to get him to brink of the majors, but those guys have usually fizzled out there.
Even someone like Weigel has/had the slider billed as a quality second.
Acuna
Swanson
FF
Donaldson
Albies
McCann
Riley
Joyce
Dallas
Kinda interesting to give markakis the day off instead of Riley with rhp
This could be an audition for who to keep up when ender comes
Because someone needs to take these starts. Teams need 8-10 SPs every year, and having Wilson as the 8th SP option is a good thing.
As others have pointed out, he's a bit too young to shove in the BP now since even MOR SPs are more valuable than all but the most dominant BP guys. Guys like Wilson and Touki and Newk are very likely to end up in the BP, but not when they are/were 21. Wilson is the youngest current SP in MLB, so it makes sense to give him a few more shots.
In the end I agree, he is a BP arm...been saying it for over a year now.
