PPG:  Kovacevic:  Jack Wilson Out Due to Broken Finger

Shortstop Jack Wilson’s right index finger, the one that was bruised by a ground ball last week is fractured, and he might not be able to return until the final week of the Pirates’ season.

I may not be the biggest Jack Wilson fan, but I just plain hate Brian Bixler.  Blah-blah-blah cup of tea blah-blah-blah find out in September blah-blah-blah; just watching him “bat” makes me sick to my stomach.  Yeah, the Pirates have already guaranteed the most embarrassing streak of futility in professional sports; maybe they’ll play Cruz heavily there.

Honestly, this isn't that bad an outcome. Yeah, Bixler's pretty bad, but he needs to play for them to realize that and plan accordingly.

Problem is, they seem to like Cruz better than Bixler. Cruz is just Bixler with an even weaker bat, if such a thing is possible. They seem to have gotten carried away with Cruz' small sample size showing in AAA.

What the Pirates really need to do is keep Wilson (unless they can get a real return for him, which I'm skeptical about) as a transition to whichever of their SS prospects lower down turns into something. They've got a whole bunch--Friday, Mercer, D'Arnaud, Cunningham--somebody should step forward . . . no?
