Reds 45-57

Shortstop Jack Wilson, one of the staples of this season's trade market, was dealt by the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday as part of a seven-player deal.

Going to the Mariners along with Wilson is right-hander Ian Snell.




The rebuilding Bucs received a five-player package from Seattle, headlined by top catching/first base prospect Jeff Clement. Also going to Pittsburgh are shortstop Ronny Cedeno and a trio of right-handed pitchers -- Aaron Pribanic, Brett Lorin and Nathan Adcock.

Wilson, 31, a 2004 All-Star, batted .267 in 75 games with the Pirates.

Snell had struggled in 15 starts (2-8, 5.36) with the big-league club but has been lights out since being demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis, where he was 2-2 with an 0.96 ERA and had 47 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings.

Of the five players dealt by Seattle, only Cedeno comes off the big-league roster. Cedeno also is in an 0-for-24 drought after going 0-for-4 in Tuesday night's victory over the Indians.

Clement was batting .288, with 14 homers and 68 RBIs, at Triple-A Tacoma.

I don't break character until after the DVD commentary

Well I'm not happy. Wilson's not a great hitter, but he's better than Ronny Cedeno. But on defense he's a fucking wizard.

Meanwhile, if Snell turns around a la Zack Greinke in the next couple years, the Mariners are going to be hell to play against.
