Pirates Talk To David Eckstein

Heard a little bit ago that the Pirates have made formal contact with free-agent shortstop David Eckstein and am working to confirm decisively. Yesterday, Fox Sports reported that Eckstein was being eyed by five teams and would prefer to go somewhere where he can start. Obviously, the Pirates would have a canyon-sized hole at short if Wilson gets traded. Or Freddy Sanchez, for that matter, though his name still is not coming up.
