The Pirates are apparently shopping him. Would you bite?

I would be interested depending upon the Pirates' price. Wilson and Phillips would be a very entertaining DP combo.

This now becomes a question of his glove overshadowing his career OPS just North of Juan Castro (.610).
If you don't care about the glove at all, then keep plugging Rich Aurilia into the Cleanup spot with his .769 career OPS.
If you care about the glove, then give Jack Wilson a look, depending on the price.

Nope! We don't have any contracts bad enough to assume this albatross...save Milton, but he comes off the books after next year and do we currently really have anyone who can come in and perform in Milton's spot at a replacement player level?
There would have to be VERY good young pieces to sweeten the deal, and I like Wilson's glove over Clayton's.
might be bad contract if we could get th buco's to pick up some of it i'd do it in heartbeat u see some of the plays this guy makes he can hit alil bit to put down perfect suicide squeeze the other nite drove in 2 runs that nite he can hit it's alil underated
I like wilson alot however I dont want to pay him more then like 3 or 4 million a year. I think the pirates should just send him and gonzalez over for free after we gave them casey for free.
Jack Wilson blows. however he is the kind of guy i expect Krivsky to pursue, even if the deal was mainly constructed around acquiring Gonzalez (who the Pirates shouldn't make availble) or Damaso Marte.
but if the price for decent relief is two starting position players, i'm terrified to find out what the current price is for one dominant closer or a good reliever.
i agree the buco's trieng to trade gonzo is ridiculous he's gonna be a top notch closer and those don't com eeasyQuote:

God no.
only in a deal where they get Milton and ???? and we get Wilson and Gorzelanny.
Jack Wilson is what Royce Clayton used to be. That is not a compliment.
I would rather eat dirt straight out of the ground than have Jack Wilson on my team. Clayton and Castro is bad enough.
