If he plays more than 3 years here I'll be shocked. Al Wilson is still relatively young at 29. I think he's got about 5 productive years left. However, it doesn't matter cause it's not gonna happen. However, they should just replace Wilson with Bly and the deal should get done.

wilson is only 2 years younger, i dont think that makes a long term answer. he will be 30 at the start of the season and fletcher will be 32

Okay, but I still think they should make the same trade for Bly, which was actually the poorly illustrated main point of my first post. I think Al Wilson would have been nice, but Bly would be better. If they could have gotten Wilson instead of Flet I would have been happy. However, it didn't happen and I'm happy this way too.
