Ed Eagle has a thoughtful piece interpreting how the Benson trade reflects on the Pirates' short-term future. This is a good group of players and it looks like Littlefield plans to keep them together. As Ed writes:
As the Pirates look towards the 2005 season, the core of their current roster should remain pretty much intact. Craig Wilson, Mackowiak, shortstop Jack Wilson, left fielder Jason Bay, second baseman Jose Castillo, pitchers Perez, Burnett, Torres, Meadows, Kip Wells, Josh Fogg, and others should all be under contract with the Pirates through at least the 2006 season. This bodes well for a club whose young players have shown the ability to compete at the Major League level.
It will be interesting to see how the team goes about re-signing all these guys.
