About Jack Wilson

From today's Post-Gazette:

Of note: Since 2001, the year PNC Park opened, Jack Wilson has turned more double plays (756) and recorded more assists (3,368) than any National League shortstop. His 1,137 appearances in that span rank second to Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins (1,176).

I've always thought Jack Wilson was an under-rated shortstop, and I've always been puzzled why so many bloggers, pundits and media types are so quick to dismiss his contributions. That, and $1.87 will get you a cup of coffee.

More to come on the recent trades and, of course, Steelers training camp. Busy with work (and other life-stuff) lately.
