Hi Joe,

Not sure what Wheeler has been doing…I don’t think he’s doing much playing. I’m sure he’s just trying to stay in shape so he’s ready to go once signed. As to where he’ll be placed once signed, it depends on the organization’s philosophy. I would expect him to get a couple tune up starts in either the AZL or the Northwest League. If he signs too late to really play ball, I expect him to start next year in the Sally League.

Hey I have a question… since the draft, do you know what Zack Wheeler has been doing? (who he is playing with) When can we expect to see him in a SFG minor affiliate and what affiliate would that be? If you could email me an answer if you know it that would be amazing :]

Thanks Matt for the kind words.

Yeah, I feel ya on the Minor pick…he’s a safe pick…lacks upside with an upside probably of a No. 3 starter, but more likely a back end kinda guy.

Good write-up. I’ve read most of your articles so far, and I appreciate the site! Anyways, I wish Wheeler fell to the Braves’ pick. I’m not so happy with Mike Minor, but I guess he’s an ‘alright’ pick.
