Yeah, I like Broxton and Wheeler also. I have them both on my team. Plus, Wheeler could see some closer action, as he is next in line if Lidge can't recover.

Why doesn't Pat Neshek get any respect? In 37 innings of work he had 53 K's and only 6 BB's with a 2.19 era. That's pretty top-notch quality in my eyes.

It is pretty nice stuff, but I think he is set for a major setback this year. I think this has been discussed before, but major leaguers will be making adjustments to his unorthodox delivery.

His K numbers will still be high, but don't expect those numbers to be repeated.

I think his numbers will still stay quite good, but his lack of value is tied to his IPs. He's still sitting behind Rincon and Crain. Unless the Twins feel like he deserves the bigger role, his value will be limited.
