Giants Pursuing Craig Wilson, Sean Casey

Henry Schulman of the Chronicle:

"The Giants still like Pirates first baseman Sean Casey but also are pursuing teammate Craig Wilson, a right-handed first baseman and outfielder who would be easier to acquire."

Wilson is a more sensible target.  His contract is up and is about 40% of Casey's annual deal.  Per AB, Wilson has actually been better than Casey throuhout his career, but because he has been a part time player, can be had for much less.

This season he is out-hitting Casey in more ABs.

Niekro and one of their young pitchers(other than Cain)should do it.  Sweeney then reverts to his productive role as bench LHB /occasional starter.

On Sabean's radio show on Thursday, he said replacing Niekro was his number one priority.  Do it sooner than later, man, because our mediocre offense ain't helping.
