Rumor Mill: Wilson, Thomson, & Villareal
Here's a few interesting tidbits of rumors that are currently being circulated:
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports that Atlanta has asked about the availability of OF/1B Craig Wilson. You might know that Wilson's name has been mentioned in talks of a possible deal with Boston involving Clement and Arroyo. The Boston swap is more likely to happen. In my opinion, Wilson could be a good pickup for the Braves. He's a proven OF and 1B is needed. This would secure a patch the Braves have been trying to do this Spring.
**update** The Reds/Red Sox made a trade that sent Willy Mo to the Sox for Arroyo. I assume this will end the Wilson/Red Sox rumors and now allow the other teams interested to step up.
The Rangers remain interested in John Thomson. This trade seems more of a possiblity closer towards Opening Day.
The White Sox are taking a closer look at Oscar Villareal. Villareal who has yet to pitch for the Braves officially has been impressive in the WBC.

If the White Sox send us someone respectable for Villareal, I'll do that. Villareal is a comfortable add to the pen. I feel if he is traded, then we will miss out unless we get someone worth getting.

Villareal is a reclamation project.
Kenny Williams is loose with hsi prospects so you may be able to get more than Villareal should garner.
