Should be announced soon...Yankees trading for Pirates' Craig Wilson...nice pick-up.

Texas trades for Kip Wells...change of scenery should do him some good, been pretty good recently. Got the talent, always underachieved, though.

Good bat coming off the bench, still young and full of potential...and apparently they gave up next to nothing to get him.

Panic mode? They're what, a half-game behind the BoSox? I'd be worried if I was Boston.

rooting EVEN HARDER for them to miss the playoffs myself. Would be the best thing to happen for the game of baseball, imo

All they gave up for him is Shawn Chacon, very good move for the Yankee's, another solid bat never hurts.

Exactly my thoughts as well Skinsraj, Boston will be the team in panic mode soon.

Craig Wilson brings almost nothing to the Yankees. His only real position is DH and he doesn't hit enough to warrant full-time play there even on a lesser team than Yankees. What little potential he had went into the garbage with the syringes. For proof see picture of him 2005 and this season. So you have a decent ph against left-handers on an AL team that almost never needs a ph. Good luck keeping him sharp enough to realize even his little potential(notorious choke in clutch situatiosn as he got most of his stats in blowouts either way).
