Jack Wilson out with fractured finger

For those of you just hearing about Shawn Kelley’s upcoming surgery, I have even more good news. SS Jack Wilson slipped in the bathroom and fractured a finger; the M’s will sit him until they learn the extent of the injury. He’s set to see a hand specialist tomorrow.

For now, we’ll see a lot of Josh Wilson. Chris Woodward, make sure your phone is charged.

Wilson’s pained pinky could conceivably end his 2010 season – a season which saw his batting eye/contact rate tumble, his UZR tip below zero and saw his wOBA plummet to Ronny Cedeno levels. His acquisition was always something of a gamble, and unfortunately for everyone, the house won this one. At this point, Wilson’s in a real fight to hang on in MLB. I wish him the best of luck…somewhere else.
