Romo Phone Home: Rumor - speculation by Greg Brown about Wilson

In the spring of 1983, Pirates reliever Enrique Romo failed to report to camp. Attempts by the team to locate the enigmatic righty failed, and he was released. Similarly, for 20+ years, Pirates fans were unable to locate their once-proud franchise. This blog, last seen in September 2006, was the record of one father and son who nurtured the hope that one day Romo and the Pirates would phone home. That day arrived seven years hence, and now we are back. Enrique, we salute you, wherever you are.

Rumor - speculation by Greg Brown about Wilson

Listening to the Bucs game on Gameday while going through email at work. (9-3 Bucs over the Yankees in the 8th. Snell looks like he's finally making the sale.)

Greg Brown cites vague rumblings that Craig Wilson is being shopped and speculates that with Wells out and Ollie apparently now not going to be ready for the start of the season, the Bucs may be shopping Craig for a starter.

I'd hate to see it happen, but it wouldn't at all surprise me.

Mark Redman and Dave Williams are looking pretty good right now, damnit.; 5:04 PM

Billy said...: Right, Oliver, Craig is now a recently demoted bench player who represents an opportunity for a smart GM to buy low by sending us this year's version of Mark Redman.

Scat: Great to be back! Yes, I'm warming up to the WBC. Pat says that Paulino got hold of one tonight for the Dominican but spent a little too much time admiring it. I have Venezuela and Puerto Rico on the box right now.; 9:11 PM
Billy said...: Strickland got mashed today by the Yankees scrubs in the late innings. Two outs, three homers, four runs in the ninth inning.; 10:36 PM

We should try it, I see shades of Todd Ritchie in these guys.; 7:10 PM
