		On a semi-unrelated note: I think Prior and Mark Teixeira will be two of the best players of their generation and they were both taken after the Twins selected Joe Mauer with the #1 pick in the 2001 draft.
		Wilson is also a great defensive player and he's still only 25 years old, so he's got a chance to make himself a useful hitter yet.
		According to Baseball Prospectus' "Runs Above Replacement Level," he was the best shortstop in the National League and the 5th best in all of baseball (behind the big 4 in the AL).

	Don Wilson - Statistics - The Baseball Cube (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A player with a centile of 15 means that 15% of the players have a higher salary.
		A glut of players will be making the minimum and so it is unfair to represent some of these players within the range of 80 to 100 when they all earn the same.
		The true formula of the centile is to count the number of players with a posted salary during the season and divide by 100.

		Incidentally, though the war ended in 1918, the baseball owners cut back the 1919 schedule by 14 games because they feared that the public wouldn't yet be interested in so trivial a pursuit as "base ball" (as it was known then).

	BIOPROJ.SABR.ORG :: The Baseball Biography Project.
		Trading for a slugger and turning him into a line drive hitter is somewhat analogous to trading for a player and converting him to a different position: for the strategy to fully succeed, the player has to have the right attitude about it.
		The duo was one of baseball's first pair of interracial roommates, the first with a team based in the south.
		You could argue that Blefary played the most significant role in integrating the game of any white player in baseball history, but the case is hard to make simply because his role has been so minimally documented.

	Baseball Toaster : Bronx Banter : Splitting the Difference
		The right-handed Wilson has 235 career innings in the major leagues and a 5.35 ERA to go with them, so there's a good deal of wishful thinking going on here, but one thing he's always had has been excellent control.
		Wilson looked pretty sharp there, his curve had a lot of bite on it.
		But taking a snapshot of 2004, it was inconceivable that the Yankees would turn their backs on RJ and Pavano completely...it just wasn't the culture of the organization to show that kind of restraint.

	Houston Astros
		In the wacky, strike-shortened 1972 season the 'Stros finished a surprising second, due in large part to the efforts of pitchers Don Wilson and Larry Dierker, and everyday players Lee May, Doug Rader, Jimmy Wynn, Bob Watson, and Cesar Cedeno.
		The first part of the 1980s were disappointing as talented players Jose Cruz, Dickie Thon, and Bill Doran failed to push the team over the top.
		Dierker resigned after complaining that modern players were "too hard to motivate." The Astros skipper retired as the most successful in Houston history, winning four division titles and 55% of his games in five years.

	The New York Times Strikes Out: Barry Bonds, Race, and Mr. Subliminal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Grann emphasizes the business-like nature of today's baseball, to disguise his thinly-veiled belief, from the Harry Edwards school of racist, sports sociology, that it would demean fl stars to entertain the (predominantly white) paying fans — even though Grann quotes a contradictory statement by Bonds, emphasizing that baseball is entertainment.
		I understand well enough why people might prefer to think less of Barry Bonds as a baseball player - it is, one admits, very difficult to accept that a man who is too often a petulant jerk is also close enough to being the greatest baseball player of at least his generation.
		But no few of the greatest players the game has ever known were men whom you might otherwise dismiss as self-centered louts no matter how they did or didn't play in a pennant race or in the World Series.

		But the jump from the minor leagues to the major leagues is a hard enough one to make as it is even without taking into account that young players that strike out quite a bit seem to take the longest to acclimate to facing more advanced pitching.
		Unfortunately, most of the talent at the big-league level is at the wrong end of the defensive spectrum, the pitching staff could be the worst in baseball, and the minor-league system is bereft of talent.
