Decisions, Decisions

Wilbur Miller has a post at OnlyBucs about the roster decisions facing the Pirates. I suppose a lot of what happens will depend on what goes on at the Winter Meetings, but most of the things he says make sense. I'll even say that despite my own personal preference towards both players, keeping Wigginton over Mackowiak makes sense from a purely statistical point of view. Fortunately for me, the Pirates tend to not value things like "splits" and "statistics" unless they back up their cause, so I'll probably never have to worry about the clashing of my common sense and my favorite players that would take place.
