More Anna Benson

UPDATE (12/16): Not sure how this happened, but apparently my little blog here has turned up on the first page of Google search results for "Anna Benson" and it's pointing a whole ton of new people to WHYGAVS. Anyways, I'd encourge anyone who's found this blog via that manner to click around and check things out, especially if they happen to be a Pirates fan. Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too. Just don't expect to find any pictures of Ms. Benson here.

Well, this is just fantastic. Anna Benson is now attacking the Mets because she thinks they are trying to trade her husband because she wants to pose in Playboy (something also alleged by Peter Gammons). Of course Anna is less than pleased by the whole incident. Kris, meanwhile, hasn't commented on the situation, presumably because he's locked in a basement somewhere with testicle clamps on. You know, as much as I make fun of the guy I'm really starting to feel bad for him.

WHYGAVS has moved

It's official. WHYGAVS now has a new official home. It's actually at WHYGAVS.com , which means that it's the same as the old home, but I'm off Blogger now, which means that this old link won't redirect. You'll have to subscribe to a new feed if that's how you read WHYGAVS, but beyond that things are going to be mostly the same.

Links

For reasons that will become shortly apparent, I've been working on cleaning/updating the sidebar links. That means that I've got some new links to add to the sidebar, as well as some other things for your general perusal. Cory Humes, Geeves, and Alan from Bucco Wire are all blogging again at MVN under the header Pirate Revolution . There's also The Green Weenie and The 'Burgh Blues , two blogs I should've added some time ago. Meanwhile, Dejan's series about the Pirates' presence in the Dominican is awesome. I'm sure most of you have been checking it out as it's been published, but if you haven't I can't recommend parts one , two , and three , Renee Gayo's list of the top 5 prospects yet to play in America , and everything else that DK's put on his blog on the subject enough. It's an awesome look in to the Bucs' international operation and how things have changed since Bob Nutting took the lack of Pirate presence in the reg

The Pirates are talking to Mark Loretta

There are a couple of possible reactions when reading that the Pirates are talking to Mark Loretta . The easy reaction is, "Well, so long as he's replacing Chris Gomez, I'm fine with that." That's true. Loretta's a useful utility infielder that can still handle a bat fairly well and can play just about every position in the infield in a short-term capacity. In fact, he's probably a better hitter than Gomez and he can't really be a worse fielder. That may make him more the successor to Doug Mientkiewicz, which is fine by me as well. But then I started thinking. Aren't we trying to trade our shortstop away? Isn't "successor to Jack Wilson" a position that needs filled on the depth chart at the moment? I mean, I know Huntington's not looking at Loretta as a starting shortstop next year ... but what if he is? This is how the offseason drives people crazy. You can go months and months without hearing any rumors, then as soon as rumor
