Pinero for Wilson --> Rumors and Speculation

Over the past few days there has been some reports that a trade was looming in the form of Joel Pinero for Craig A Wilson of the pirates. I have read some reports on this and it is my personal belief that this is just in fact a rumor and is not something the mariners are interested in. Or so I hope and pray. Seriously what sense does this make for the Mariners. I can understand the pirate’s interest in Joel the pirates need pitching, but what role does Wilson play on the mariners? OF? Nah the only place to put him would be in place of Raul, and is he any better than Raul? No way. Well he can also play 1st............... but we have 55 million tied up there. Well a few years back Wilson was a catcher........Well we just invested some nice money into a catch and our future catcher is only a few years out. So are the Mariners thinking of trading there #2 starter for a bench guy? The trade just doesn’t make any sense to me so I am glad this is just a rumor lets hope and pray it stays that way.

  1. Total rumor. I read today that Bavasi never even talked to the Pirates.

  3. That would have been a money fantasy trade 2 years ago when C.A. Wilson had catcher eligibility.

    piniero is your #2?!?! is that not a sad state of affairs. I guess Bosio was busy... Do they have the cajones to cut Everett?

  5. Piniero's only our #2 in that he's the second starter going this year. He's probably the 4th best pitcher in the rotation.

    great to see the article on King Felix in SI--and Joe Mamma gets the most ink in the team write up---thhis is going to be an exciting season and fun if we win more than 81 games--I sense some fire,some embarrassment (see A. Beltre), a decline in the average age of the team,which bodes well...all in all I am anxiously awaitiing Monday's first pitch by Jamie..lest we forget,Richie hit 2 HR's Opening Day last year...let's SWEEP teh Angels of LA,CAL,Anaheim,wherever !!!

  7. i would love to see them cut everett. such a dumb idea to sign him.

    pinero is a sad state of affairs. it doenst seem like there is much of a reason to think he wil turn it around and be the guy we thought he was going to be. i wonder what offers were on the table for him a few years ago. that would be an interesting piece of investigative journalism for the marinermagic crew to look into.

    oh, and congrats on the new faces in the comments. i hope people keep coming back.
