The Seattle Mariners have acquired 1B/OF Craig Wilson from the Pirates for a player to be named later. The 31-year old righty swinging Wilson has been playing in AAA ball this season. Wilson has played in 71 games in AAA ball this year for the Pirates and he is 50 for 217 (.230 avg, .723 OPS) with 27 runs scored, 10 homers and 27 RBIs. The Mariners might bring up Wilson pretty soon and let him play some first base which is suddenly an open position with the release of Richis Sexson. Wilson has played in 698 games in his major league career and he is 527 for 2,010 (.262 avg, .827 OPS) with 303 runs scored, 99 homers and 292 RBIs. This was a good low risk/high reward move for the Mariners as Wilson has been a decent player in the majors during his career.
