Desperately Seeking Wilson
I'm normally a fan of the XM Baseball morning show with Buck Martinez (who will be forever ruined to me thanks to Triple Play '99) and the other guy, but they were pulling some things out of their ass this morning. They were doing some seemingly "on the fly" discussion of last year's deadline trades (I say "seemingly" because they plugged it several times as coming up during the show, but the prep work involved seemed to be a transaction list from last July) and made accurate comments on what trades have worked (boy, the Nationals really bent over the Reds on that Kearns/Majewski deal), but usually missed the mark on why (Ryan Wagner is pitching "well" for the Nats [5.74 ERA in 14 games before season-ending surgery], Bill Bray is getting hammered for the Reds [hasn't pitched this season due to injury]).
