Yeah their end results were very similar however Warren and Wilson pitched in a lot of close late inning situations. In Warren you have a good righty out of the pen or a solid 4 starter with potential to be more. He does not have overwhelming stuff but he knows how to mix pitches and velocities well. In Wilson you have a pitcher who was extremely successful is high stress spots. Not to mention he barely threw any other pitches besides the fastball (93.5% four seam, cutter, sinker). To me that is a pitcher who will have continued success and will be able to stay off the DL. Liriano is a really good pitcher but I would rather two really good pitchers than one great pitcher.
