Anna Benson trade rumors

Who knew she was a writer too? Check this out:

KRIS BENSON has been awesome through six innings in each of his past four starts, fading in the seventh in two of them. Scouts have clocked his fastball at 93-97 mph and one said his slider has been terrific. But teams are still wary of the Pirate starter's heart, his $6 million salary and the effect he could have on team chemistry. Benson's wife, Anna, has written extensively about the couple's sex life and that of some of his Pirates teammates and had a Web site that reportedly crashed because it received so many web hits.

That's Lawrence Rococca of the Star-Ledger.

Not cool if that's the kind of crap other GMs are using against us in trade negotiations. "Our players are sex maniacs, and they'd be distracted with fears that Anna Benson would learn about that and write it up." Leave the missus out of it.
