Craig Wilson

[CubfaninCA]

Looks like Sean Casey will be back soon, so Wilson should be more available. Wilson could start in LF versus righties and in RF versus lefties. Move Murton and his 2 homers & .622 ops vs. righties to the bench & play him versus lefties.

 

Hill for Wilson may work. Hill might turn out to be a decent starter for a small market team.

Wilson! That's another name for the big corner OF bat scenario in the other thread.

 

If the Pirates are considering moving him, you go after him. It's as simple as that.

So long as he sticks around beyond this year, oh yes you get him. This season he can platoon with both Jacque and Matt, and next year we'll see what happens. Maybe you shift Jacque to center, Craig to left, and just spend the money to bring in a top shelf right fielder. Hmm, that might not work, can Wilson play center while Murton starts for Jacque against lefties? :lol:

I've watched nearly every game...I see little in this team that looks like a contender. Craig Wilson won't change that fact.

You may be right.

 

I'd like to see what they can do w/ Lee & Wilson added to the lineup. ARam & Pierre can't continue to be this bad either.

We're already 12 games out. I think the team would be much better with Lee and Wilson. I'm not sure it makes us good enough to play 625 baseball the rest of the way, so while it may help us get to .500, I don't think getting Wilson will help us make the playoffs.

A Jones/Wilson platoon would have a 0.974 OPS so far this year.

 

Wilson is a guy with some pop, who can play first base/OF, and who eats lefties for breakfast.

 

Exactly what this team needs.

Fixed.

 

And it ain't the Cubs.

 

---------------------------

 

Any trade NOW, would be a feeble attempt at trying to salvage a crappy season. Let's call a spade a spade, this season is pretty much done, and the Cubs should be looking to UNLOAD, instead of RELOAD.

You are absolutely right it wouldn't put the Cubs in the playoffs but a move like this would be the perfect Hendry/Baker move. The Cubs would be average and then Johnny B could get his much deserved extension.

We'll take Pie for him. :-)

TROLL! You'll get Neifi and like it.

I'd add Bynum as well. :D

And Baker.

[CubfaninCA]

Might as well throw Pierre in there w/ Hill for Wilson. Pittsburgh gets a potential starter and they can deal off Pierre @ the deadline. Maybe he can get going w/ no pressure on him.

 

Put Wilson in rf and Jones in cf. Basically, the Cubs would gain 300 points in ops replacing pierre w/ wilson.
