Yankees get him for Shawn Chacon. Thats what I call robbery.

EDIT: according to ESPNNEWS BTW.

... Now Matsui's going to bust a nut.

DUSTINMOHR4LIFE · 07-31-2006, 03:58 PM

yeah. the pirates FO is awful

Optimist · 07-31-2006, 03:58 PM

Any other players involved or just Chacon for Wilson?

CrespoBlows · 07-31-2006, 03:58 PM

Wow.......

According to ESPNNEWS its Chacon for Wilson. I have a hard time believing it. They pretty much gave Wilson too us if thats the case.

AlexanderTheGreat13 · 07-31-2006, 04:00 PM

I really have a hard time believing its just Chacon. If it really is Chacon then MC Hammer was right. The Pirates FO really is the worst.

Optimist · 07-31-2006, 04:00 PM

Wow...some one took Chacon? Well, best of luck to him in the NL. I really wish he does well (as well as you can on the Pirates.)

Now, where is Wilson going to play?

**schillingouttheks** · 07-31-2006, 04:02 PM

That was my question...

CrespoBlows · 07-31-2006, 04:02 PM

Bench.

Or he'll play RF, and Abreu will play LF.

jsinger121 · 07-31-2006, 04:03 PM

If the Pirates are gonna be this foolish today how about the Red Sox go get Jason Bay for Brandon Moss, David Murphy and Edgar Martinez. At least it will be 3 more prospects than they acquired from either the Mets or Yankees.

I have heard they would like him to be the 1B and replace Andy Phillips.

Except for the fact that you were 3 minutes late

Dave Littlefield needs to be fired. Preferably a year ago. Wilson probably won't have much fantasy value while being used as a bench player in New York. Chacon should step into Kip Wells' spot in the Pirates' rotation. Jul. 31 - 3:58 pm et

Well, I believe it's clear Cashman is the better GM over Theo. Not saying Theo isn't good, but Cashman is just better.
