Jack Wilson (Pirates):
Longtime reader, first-time writer. My question is, if Jack Wilson wants to stay, and if the Pirates want him to, as they have said before, why not give him a Tim Wakefield-like contract? Give him the option to play however many years he would like at $4.5 million or so a year. That way not too much money is tied up to one player, and the Pirates can budget for the next year knowing his salary is locked in.

Jim Leyland (Tigers MGR):
For the fourth straight year, Jim Leyland will put questions about his friendship with Tony La Russa on hold and renew their rivalry in Interleague Play, this time in St. Louis. The quirks of the Interleague schedule have somehow made this an annual event for two managers whose relationship goes back more than a quarter century.
