Argh I got excited. I thought this was going to say that Benson was traded.

Nothing to get too excited about even when he does get traded. That is unless you are a Twinkie fan.

After more than a year I want to see where Benson finally gets traded. He's been rumored to almost every team in the league. Plus I want to see if Littlefield played his cards right and gets a nice prospect back.

The latest rumor I heard was Benson to Minnesota for Mientkiewicz and a prospect. Depending on the prospect, I would think Pittsburgh could do better than that.
I've also heard the last couple days that the Braves may be making a late push for him. He's from the Atlanta area, and they've always coveted him.

Pittsburgh will have to do better than that or they may as well just give him away. Mientkiewicz is a free agent after this season and if he is traded to the Pirates they probably will not be able to re-sign him, Littlefield can turn Benson into two or three good young players in the right trade, this is not the right trade.

Mientkiewics is not a free agent he has another year left on his contract. But some of the Pittsburgh papers are now saying the he is not part of deal. It never really made sense why he would be in the deal. It goes against the Pirates plan to get younger a cheaper. I hope the Pirates are able to land a good prospect. It's getting right to the deadline, hopefully some team panics and overpays for Benson.
BTW- I've heard that Mientkiewcs wife is hot too. I've never seen a picture of her but some Twins fans have said she's smokin'
