I got an email from a person with excellent knowledge of Wilson:"Wilson can't hit good velocity and is a DH."
Maybe they are wrong, but I've never heard a baseball insider talk about Mike Wilson as being anything more than a warm body. It sounds like the only reason the M's keep him around is because they like him and he is a pretty good AAA player who doesn't mind filling in in AA when needed.
Tacoma has been in desperate need of a warm body in CF and were sticking Peguero out there. I doubt Wilson is much of anything with the glove.
I can't get past the fact that 30 MLB front offices have had the opportunity to bring Wilson into the fold at zero cost and 30 front offices have passed, multiple times. To give a fringe, RH pull happy, DH tons of AB's in Safeco is not my idea of a good time. I'd rather give the AB's to Cust.
If Milton gets hurt or needs a DH, stick Langerhans or Giminez in LF. When Guti gets back, have a 3 man rotation at LF and DH (Saunders, Bradley and Cust).
I don't see giving a guy you have no faith in a chance.
