Colorado pulled their starters early (Blackmon only 2 ABs, Arenaudo only one) and LeMahieu didn't even start at all. Can't say because they lost today that they would have lost if they had something to play for. Regardless of whether the Cards didn't start DeJong/Carpenter/Pham, holding them to two hits over seven innings is pretty darned good. No reason not to pencil Wilkerson in as the #5 for next year. Barring any trades, the rotation for next year looks like Anderson/Davies/Woodruff/Wilkerson and one of Hader/Suter. They'll have Houser, Burnes, Peralta, and Ortiz waiting in the wings if one of them falters/gets hurt, with Nelson possibly back in August/September. Think it's a little early to be penciling in Wilkerson based on 1 good start. I'm,sure he will be 1 of a number of guys they give looks to in spring training. To me the only sure things are Anderson and Davies.......
