Yeah, we enjoy this.
Ken Rosenthal at The Sporting News reports that in addition to Benson, Wells and Meadows are also drawing some attention. There were nine scouts at Benson's last start. The Cardinals would like him and would offer Danny Haren. Haren was decent last year but got creamed the only time he pitched in the bigs this year. We don't need another pitching prospect, and we don't need to see Benson in St. Louis.
Rosenthal notes that the Rangers would be interested in Kip Wells and would consider dealing Adrian Gonzalez. If the Pirates can get power-hitting prospects of that caliber with that little service time for both pitchers, they should trade Wells and Benson. The rookies can fill out the rotation for the rest of the year and the Pirates can bring some Jeff Suppan/Rick Reed type into camp next year to compete for a roster spot.
