If he was a stock broker he'd be a bear all the way.  And since this is baseball and bears are right more often than bulls, it's smart for him to be that way.  But I agree with you about his qualms when it comes to player limitations.  He seems to view them as as absolutes in the present instead of changable values for the future.  Jason and I prospect very differently, which I value sometimes (because it shows me where my blind spots are) and which can be very infuriating at other times. *laughs*
Wilhelmsen can always go back to the pen - as Ruffin is right now after spending most of the year as a starter to straighten out his release point and work on secondary pitches.  It can be a permanent conversion, or a temporary teaching tool, but either way I don't think it hurts anything.  Tom needs straightening out to fully harness some of those wonderful tools of his, and IMO it'll be easier for him to do that from the rotation.
