Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Wilson's biggest problem when he came up from the minors was his control. During his '08 season, Wilson walked almost half the number of guys he struck out and allowed as many hits as innings pitched. The odd thing about this is that his walks and hits allowed numbers have stayed almost identical, yet his ERA and WHIP keep on shrinking. The good news for fantasy owners is that this means the guy is basically just striking everyone out. In 2010, Wilson struck out 93 batters in 310 plate appearances. That's 1/3 of the batters he faced. Just for comparison's sake, 2010 Cy Young winner Roy Halladay struck out 219 batters in 996 innings, which is about 20% of the batters he faced. Going forth, even if Wilson doesn't appreciate in skill at the same prodigious clip he has in the past few years and instead plateaus, you are still looking at an elite source for strikeouts, ERA, WHIP and saves.
I've combed through Wilson's numbers, and even with a heart full of hate, it's hard to find something to knock this guy on. Leaving 86% of runners on base won't happen again and thus his sub two ERA will be difficult to replicate. Last year, Wilson also had an above average infield converting outs behind him. With Miguel Tejada manning short and an ever-expanding Pablo Sandoval in the hot corner, there aren't those same assurances to keep those balls from becoming hits. Also, as previously noted, Wilson has given up the same number of hits and walks every year - the increase and innings in strikeouts are nice, but typically you want a pitcher whose hit and K numbers go down at the same time.
Projection: It's hard to imagine his numbers getting better, but with the confidence of closing out a World Series underneath him, I can see Brian Wilson getting better next year.
48 saves, 2.20 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 98 K in 68 IP
