Dodgers reportedly trying to acquire Jack Wilson

This is the link to an Associated Press story out of Pittsburgh — the story appears on the USA Today web site, but the byline is that of Alan Robinson, who is the AP guy in Pittsburgh — stating that the Dodgers are in a hard pursuit of longtime Pirates SS Jack Wilson, a Thousand Oaks High alum who, presumably, would be thrilled to come home. He is a fomer All-Star (2004) and a brilliant defensive shortstop, but he isn’t a high-OBP guy or a big basestealing threat. So while he might be a good candidate to replace Rafael Furcal at his position, the Dodgers would probably need someone else to lead off.
