Justin Wilson of the Detroit Tigers is another potential bullpen target for the Rockies that we mentioned in our bullpen article last week.

Wilson is having a career year for the Tigers as since they released Francisco Rodriguez, Wilson has become the closer for the team. He has a 3-3 record with a 2.36 ERA in 36 games with 10 saves. His WHIP is 0.932 and he’s only averaging five hits allowed, a little over three walks, and a little under than 13 strikeouts per nine innings.

Wilson has only had two career appearances in Coors Field and his opponent’s have only hit .167 (one hit) with an on-base percentage of .286 and a slugging percentage of .167 in two innings of work.

He also brings postseason experience to the table as in four games and 4 1/3 innings pitched, he has an ERA of 2.08 as he’s allowed three hits and one run.

Wilson is owed about $1.25 million for the rest of 2017. He’s arbitration eligible for next season and he will become a free agent after the 2018 season.
