Brad Wilkerson Possibilities
What's next for outfielder Brad Wilkerson? Two possibilities are the Red Sox and Blue Jays, according to a source. The Red Sox previously wanted Wilkerson for a bench role. The Jays may want to add a lefty bat. Not saying these two clubs are necessarily interested, but they may be possible fits as Wilkerson looks for a job.
Wilkerson, 30, is hitting .234/.323/.444 in 394 ABs since the start of the '07 season.

He's gotta be better than Carlos Delgado, and the gives the Mets protection in the OF at the corners, especially in the event of another Alou incident.

No, he's not better than Delgado, by a wide stretch. Why anyone would sign this overpaid strikeout machine is beyond me. Well, possibly an independent league team looking for a has-been name would make sense but that is about it. Actually MLB teams would be better served in signing Greg Norton who was released on the same day as Whiffkerson.

The Nats could use him as a 4th OF/PH/Backup 1B type until Dmitri and Dukes are back (and even then, Pena has been sucking).

If the Red Sox were that desperate in the outfield I think they would play Brandon Moss. The Red Sox previously wanted Wilkerson for a bench role before they signed Sean Casey and Bobby Kielty.

...who are both currently on the DL. But I agree with your main point - Moss is in all likelihood a better option than Wilkerson.
