25-year old lefty starting pitcher Jason Wheeler was not considered much of a prospect for the Minnesota Twins coming into this season, but that could change if he keeps pitching well this year. Wheeler has pitched in 6 games (all starts) in AA+AAA-ball so far this year for the Twins and he is 1-2 with a 1.62 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He has given up 32 hits and 4 walks while whiffing 32 batters in his first 39 innings this year, which are impressive numbers. Wheeler has now pitched in 110 games (all starts) in his first five years in the minors and he is 40-31 with a 3.63 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP.
