Stilson was rated as a first round talent but fell to the third round due to a torn labrum. He did not pitch after his injury in May of 2011. He started 2012 in high Single A Dunedin and has just been moved up to the Double A team in NH. The Jays will be careful with him and still need to build up his arm. He was a SS in high school and has only pitched for 3 years. As much as I would like to see him in the majors ASAP, I expect that they will be careful with his development and will limit his innings.

I wonder if either Villanueva or Perez will be promoted from the pen to the rotation.

The Jays had to call up some pitchers from Triple A and need some arms to replace them.
