Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, January 13, 2012
As an old pequod sod in the bar used to say to anybody named Jack…“#### you, Jack, I’m all right!!”
The Atlanta Braves have re-signed veteran infielder Jack Wilson to a one-year deal, the team’s website reports.
Wilson, 34, hit .243 with no homers, 11 RBIs in part-time duty with the Braves and Seattle Mariners in 2011. He was dealt to Atlanta on Aug. 31.
His biggest impact this season might be as a mentor/insurance policy.
Barring another acquisition, the Braves will start rookie Tyler Pastornicky at shortstop on opening day. The 22-year-old hit .314 with seven homers, 45 RBIs and 27 stolen bases between the Class AA and Class AAA levels in 2011, but he never has played in the majors.

1. Sam Hutcheson is the Rickey Henderson of... Posted: January 13, 2012 at 06:04 PM (#4036534)Why ask a question that you just answered in your previous sentence?
Two years of age, one All-Star game, and eleven points of career OPS+?
It is quite possible I've been confusing Adam Everett and Jack Wilson for years.
The main difference is Everett just can't stay healthy (only 150 PA combined the last 2 years) and the injuries seem to have sapped his defensive abilities. Fragile, no-hit, average or worse defense is not an attractive combo. Still mildly surprised Colletti didn't bring in at least one of these guys to join his 2006 All-Stars.
Jack Wilson is the one who looks like my high school friend Mike Sands. And he was the one who was on the Pirates for 8 1/2 years.
