Will do.  Sorry. Enough of Mike Wison threads for a while.  (I'm heading on vacation :)
Tui gets sent down today.  Jack Wilson come up.  Interestingly.....I'm sure in no hurry to see Jack in the lineup.  Josh has proven something to me.  His UZR150 is at 1.8, not far below Jacks career #'s of 5 and a bit.  And Josh is showing a superior bat than Jack can show.  Josh does have a BABIP of .331, which is a bit inflated....but if you look at his principal years in the majors he is showing improvement each year at the plate.  His line-drive % was 12.7 in '07, 19.6 in '09 and is 23.4 this year.  His fly ball % was 44.3 then 39.9 and is 38.3 this year.  His BB% has increased each year and his K% has dropped.
He's improving.  Right now, he's a MLB shortstop with a decent bat and a decent glove.  Along with Fister, he's the most pleasant MLB surprise of the year. He has value.
BTW...Pineda was moved up to Tacoma.  Even money says he gets his first MLB start by August 1.
