An Insider link on ESPN.com suggests that the Cubs (and Nats) are interested in Wilson. I thought this was dead. Anyone have any insight?

 

Please tell me these rumors are false.

Nah, while his 10 Ks in 27 ABs would be right at home on this team, I don't think we need a 3rd catcher.

 

You did mean Dan Wilson, right?

This made me laugh.

I'd rather have Dan than Preston at this point. I take that back, Dusty would probably put Dan behind the plate 4 times a week. I don't want either. Besides, we already met our quota of Wilsons for this year. We don't need any more.

There have been articles out there quoting Hendry as saying he still thinks we have a chance at the playoffs, but he's not going to trade the future for a 1/2 year rental. If he does make a trade it's going to be for a player who will be around for a few years. Wilson would be a rental player, so he's probably not coming here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank god.

Slow times with the All-Star weekend. Give us a break.

That's funny, the first name that came to my mind when I saw Wilson was Paul Wilson.

 

The guy from "Cheers"?

I hear Sam Malone is thinking about a return to the Red Sox. They could definitely use him in the bullpen right now.

"I'm picking up on your sarcasm."

"Well I should hope so because I'm laying it on pretty thick."

 

I realize it has come up here many times, but recent reports suggested that Hendry wasn't interested in 2-month rentals. So I was wondering why this rumor showed up today on ESPN. Thought there might be a new development and wanted to see if anyone here knew anything.

The insider article on ESPN just says that the Cubs are one of the teams in the mix for Wilson, but Hendry has indicated that he's not shopping for a 2-month rental. Nothing new.

So does Hendry want to lock up Wilson longterm? I hope not. I don't even want him for half a season.

Y'know what, he might be an upgrade over Blanco. If I recall, he's also a pretty descent fielding catcher.

The irony is that I now work at the U of Minnesota. Same tune, different school.

No, he meant Willie Wilson. :D
