Wilkerson is with the Jays? Damn, he was my favourite. What happened to him? (I was happy when he was traded, Washington didn't deserve Wilkie)

Hopefully he will be back in shape. Still remember his 31 or 32 HR. Man, I was in love with that guy

I just saw a video on youtube of the expos, my heart is broken.
I really miss watching them live.

He's not doing well since the Expos demise, but with Vernon Wells injury & the Jays troubles, he will get his PA's. I hope he does well. Wilk's on the Jay's makes following baseball easier.

I know, if he doesn't get out of the funk. His career will end in Canada like it started. He always strikes out a lot! Not a problem, he used to have good OBA. The Jay's hitting coach needs to watch the Expo's video's from 2004(if there are any) to remind him to be patient. He used to walk a lot to compensate. The power is there when he's patient.

Player 61 · 05-18-2008, 02:10 PM

In fact I think Wilkerson was our lead off hitter in 2004, even with the 32 homers!

I hate the fact that power hitters strike out so much.
Howard in Philladelphia doesnt make sence how many times he strikes out

I was looking for a Wilkerson Expos jersey on Ebay. there's none

Player 61 · 05-18-2008, 03:16 PM

It would be tough now. He wore #6 I think? & 48 in the 1st year call up.

I also miss the Expo's boutique in the Pie-IX Metro. They had all the jersey numbers & letters in that old case. I Still have an 18 Alou, they would sow it up for you & call you at home when you purchased one & it was ready. You would just pick it up next game.....
