Will Zack Wheeler get the Opening Day Start?

Zack Wheeler is confident that he will be the Opening Day starter. I think that he definitely has a chance along with Colon, Niese, and Gee. He was able to cut down on his walks as the season progressed. In June, he had 10 walks in 16 innings. In August, he had only 11 walks in 37 innings. Wheeler showed that he can have a fastball topping out at times at 97-98 mph. He also mixed in a sharp curve ball and slider as his secondary pitches. I think that he will continue to develop this year. I look forward to seeing what strides he will make. I'm hoping that he can win 10-15 games.
