2010 Options: Pittsburgh Pirates

Let's take a look at the 2010 options facing the Pirates.

• Jack Wilson - $8.4MM club option with a $600K buyout.  According to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Wilson "offered to renegotiate [the option] at a lower rate in exchange for a long-term deal, but there has been no formal response."  Wilson is a 31 year-old no-bat all-glove guy.  It would probably make more sense for the Bucs to just unload the remaning $5.75MM he has coming.
• Freddy Sanchez - $8MM club option with a $600K buyout.  Vests with 635 PAs in 2009 or 600 PAs and an All-Star selection in 2009.  Sanchez already has 197 PAs, and it's not inconceivable that he could represent the Pirates in the All-Star game.  Barring a major injury, he's a Pirate in 2010.  The whole situation has sworn the Pirates off vesting options, according to Kovacevic.
