Rumor has it Craig Wilson could be returning to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
According to the Associated Press, "Wilson, the power-hitting first baseman-outfielder who hit 29 homers for the Pirates in 2004, is seeking a bench job in the majors and would like to play again for Pittsburgh. He was dealt to the Yankees at the trading deadline in 2006 and has since been in the Yankees, Braves and White Sox organizations... Wilson, who turns 31 later this month, was bothered by an injured right shoulder this past season and had arthroscopic surgery in June. Before the surgery, Wilson hit .172 with one homer and two RBIs in 58 at-bats for Atlanta."
He had some good seasons for us, and despite his struggles in 2007, I would welcome his return - at a discount, of course.
