Paul Wilson?
From Mark Sheldon on Reds.com:
"It's early, but right now, Wilson's looking pretty darn good. We were remiss to not include his name on last week's poll about fifth starter candidates. He definitely has a shot. Shoulder and elbow surgeries over the years, including the major shoulder operation in June 2005 that he's trying make a comeback from, robbed Wilson off his above-90 mph velocity. But observers this spring have been impressed with his ability to locate and the quality of his sinker pitch.
Wilson has a tremendous work ethic and is a favorite of many in the clubhouse. If he's healthy and has a good run during the exhibition games, in my mind he's got to be a favorite for the fifth spot. If not, a role in the bullpen is always an option.
---
I was surprised to read this. He seems to really thinks Wilson could be in the mix for a starter spot. I thought Wilson was pretty much done. It would be really nice just to have him in the bullpen. It would be a helluva comeback, but I wonder how optimistic this is?

Start in the Louisville
That said, if he shows well in Louisville, I would expect his name would be first on the list to replace anyone not performing (starters or long relief.)

why all the wilson hate?
bailey should be taking milton's place, not be a 4 or 5 starter.

Hopefully
I just really think that the fact he only has a minor league contract with an invite is going to determine where he starts the season. I don't think it is going to be long into the season when either #5 starter, Lohse or Milton is going to need replacing.

Hehehe
I would love to see Wilson in relief if he doesn't have starter stamina anymore. Could he be any worse than what we've got? Don't answer that.

This Thread makes my head asplode...
He is not a major league caliber pitcher at this point in his career. It is way past the time to stop mentioning the name Paul Wilson in conjunction with our starting rotation!
