Giants Top 50 Prospects #43: Chris Wilson

#43 Chris Wilson. RHP. BD: 11-27-1986. 6'2", 205 lbs.

2009 Stats: Low A- 5-5, 3.83, 51.2 IP, 8 BB, 67 K's, 9 Saves.

Again, I don't know anything about what kind of stuff Wilson has, but I like his numbers. Drafted out of JC ball in 2008 in round 38, he was having a rough season until he moved into the closer's role for Augusta in August last year. From there on he was lights out compiling 7 of his 9 saves while going 2-0, 0.81, 20.1 IP, 2 BB, 28 K's. Closers in the low minors don't tend to get very far in their pro careers, but Wilson's peripheral numbers look so good that I decided to rank him for now. I'm not sure he is in line to be the closer for San Jose. That would seem to be a logical place for Jason Stoffel to start the season, but getting in IP and polishing his game is more important than getting Saves at this level.
