Wilson .... Jack, that is, most likely kills this or any other move for SS. Too bad, terrible move in hindsight and the 2 year deal to erase last years' hit stings now more than ever.

All of that adds up to money, and the M's have a clear history in rebuild situations... the money goes down, not up.
