I fully expect Ned to go out and offer him double whatever the Tigers are offering. Hey, I've never seen GG go cheap!!!
Gotta keep him. Trade league to the tigers for a couple of miggy bats and pay his salary. Fuck it C.R.E.A.M.
Without Wilson our bullpen currently constructed is Jansen, Withrow, League, Belisario and your pick of Paco, Elbert, Dominguez, Y Garcia, O Garcia and whoever loses the Bills/Beckett battle. That is a lot of question marks and likely us having to give a multi year deal to FA reliever. Let's hope this one does not come back to bite us in the ass again.
I would hate to lose the beard, but I think Wilson will want to go to somewhere where he will be the closer. Detroit's problems in this area makes it more likely he will leave
mark my words this is going to come back and bite us i don't care about duplicity and/or what we're (over)paying that hack league wilson would be an invaluable component for our pen what if kenley struggles or gets hurt?
The Dodgers are nearing an agreement with Brian Wilson, according to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports had recently tweeted that the two sides have been having discussions, noting that Joe Nathan's near-deal with the Tigers could accelerate the timetable.
Jansen, Wilson, withrow is a good enough 7-8-9 IMO. Have 2 Lefties in that mix, a long man, and a wild card of a righty and you have yourself a bullpen
@BNightengale: The #Dodgers and free-agent closer Brian Wilson are talking only about a one-year deal, enabling Wilson to hit the market again after 2014 Wow, a 1 year deal would be sweet
Maybe Billingsley can go to the pen when he's ready. If Haren and whoever gets the other spot stay on the mound.
