Wilson and the Mets

David Rubin at Mets Trades writes a good article on the used to be mets prospect Preston Wilson and his "might be" return:

Preston Wilson will not be an Astro within the next 10 days, as they have designated him for assignment. This doesn't make sense-Wilson, step-son of former Mets' CF Mookie, is their number 2 RBI man, and the Astros are only 3.5 games back in the wildcard race. Granted, he hasn't been the home run hitter they thought he'd be, with only 9, and he strikes out a ton, but he's apparently beloved in the clubhouse and doesn't make a ton of $$. We'd LOVE to see Wilson back with the Mets, the team that traded him originally (to Florida in a trade for some guy named Piazza). It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days.
