I think I might have swine flu. In any case, I've been as sick as I've been in about a decade. Give me a couple days to get back on track. My apologies for the lack of updates.

Shortstop – Jack Wilson, Pittsburgh and Seattle
Wilson won’t win a Gold Glove this year. Just like Mark Teixeira didn’t win one last year. He split time between leagues, and the Gold Glove voters don’t know which league to put him in. Not so with The Fielding Bible Awards...

Pirates to Move High-A Affiliate to Florida State League
I guess convenience won out for the Pirates in this case. One doesn't attach much to winning in the lower minors, but given that all hope for Bucs fans seems to stem from the players who were part of a championship...

Thanks for your patience while I was away. I'm done traveling until Thanksgiving. Incidentally, I'm about 95% sure I saw Jay Mariotti, looking sort of dapper in a sport coat and jeans, at a Hudson News in O'Hare today. I didn't say anything to him, just walked by...

Bautista and Bootcheck are no surprise. The big news here is the removal of Hansen, who was one of four players acquired in the Jason Bay deal. Hansen has a nerve disorder that could take years to heal, which is bad enough, but there's also...
