Wilson looks like a Hobo.-Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports

1. The Giants draft Wilson in the 24^th round of the 2003 amateur draft.

2.  After a few years of developing, and rising through the San Francisco farm system quickly Wilson enjoys immense success as the new Giant’s closer.

3. Wilson annoys the entire city of Los Angeles for years, with his stupid arm crossing every time he records a save. (kudos to Hayden Kane for pointing this out.)

4.  After being selected to two all-star games, and enjoying a lot of success, Wilson grows a huge ugly moonshiner beard.

5. Wilson helps the Giants win a World Series in 2010.

6.  After the Giants win the World Series in 2010, Wilson begins to act like a wierdo.

7.  After the 2011 season, Wilson earns 8.5 million dollars for the 2012 season in his second year of arbitration.

8.  Blackbeard pitches in just two games for the Giants in 2012, before blowing out his arm.

9.  Wilson has Tommy John surgery, ending his 2012 season.

10. Wilson begins to act more and more like a total weirdo. His beard grows even longer, and people mistake him for a homeless vagrant.

11. Wilson is eligible for his third year of arbitration after the 2012 season, but the rumor was the Giants would not be tendering Blackbeard a contract because of his injury.

12. Because of number 11, Blackbeard gets pissed at the Giants. So he tells everyone that he wants to pitch for the Dodgers if the Giants don’t tender him a contract because he lives in Los Angeles during the off-season.

13. As a result, the Giants find their feelings hurt, and as expected do not tender Wilson a contract, making him a free agent.

14. This story amuses Dodger fans everywhere.

15. Finally the Dodgers put these rumors to bed by announcing they have no interest in signing Wilson. Pass! Our bullpen is set with Brandon League, Kenley Jansen, and Ronald Belisario. Three great dominant relievers who don’t look like hobos.

16. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Hot Stove rumors.

17. Go Blue!

(We’ll have more from the winter meetings later)

Apparently many insiders believe that Wilson could get a contract in the same neighborhood as the one Ryan Madson just signed. According to sources, the Red Sox, and Angels could have interest in Wilson as well. Wilson is from New Hampshire, so the Red Sox could make sense for him. Regardless, we wish him well. Perhaps he could land a career as a hermit, or a Pirate if pitching doesn’t work out. (I mean a real actual Pirate, not the MLB team) If none of those teams sign Wilson, there is always a spot for him in Skid Row. He should fit in quite well down there.

ATFH quoted Yahoo’s Tim Brown who reported the unreal on twitter with this tweet.

Hearing Brian Wilson’s first choice to pitch in 2012 — outside of SF — is for the Dodgers. He lives in LA during offseason.

You can file this under as the screw turns. Wilson is coming off of Tommy John surgery, and is not expected to be tendered a contract by the Giants by Friday’s deadline. If that happens he would become a free agent and be able to negotiate with other teams. Wilson only pitched in two games last season before blowing his arm out in April. The Giants already have guys like Santiago Casilla, and Sergio Romo who can handle the eighth and ninth inning duties, so it doesn’t look like they’re going to tender him.

ughhh, yuck! Wilson wants to be a Dodger? No thanks. Yuck, look at that nasty beard, he looks like a hobo.

Now don’t get me wrong here, Wilson has been a good pitcher over the last five years or so. Despite the guy being a total weirdo, he has saved at least 36 games in four of the past five seasons. The only season he hasn’t saved at least that many games was this last season of course.

He has a career 3.21 ERA, 171 saves, three all star selections, a 9.6 whiff per nine rate, and a 4.0 walk per nine rate. He’s been a closer since 2008. He has his best season in 2010 when he saved 48 games and posted a 1.81 ERA, while finishing seventh in the cy young voting. The right hander is 30 years old, and made 8.5 million dollars last season.

This makes me wonder what Giant fans have actually been doing since they won another World Series? Have they been partying up and down San Francisco? Tossing rice, and batteries in the air, while wearing those annoying little panda hats? Nope, apparently they’ve been crying a river over the fact that Blackbeard no longer wants to be the Giant’s closer, but even more shocking, he wants to pitch for the Dodgers! Oh the horror for San Francisco fans! What’s next for them? Pablo Sandoval wanting to dye his hair Blue? How about the Willie Mays statue being covered in Blue paint? Can you imagine what would happen up there? There could be a riot! According to ATFH, there is some hurt feelings on both sides. Cry me a river Argentina.

Well the Dodgers don’t need Wilson anyways. We already have a closer, and two other bad ass set-up guys. (Brandon League, Kenley Jansen, and Ronald Belisario) Unless Wilson doesn’t mind pitching in middle relief and take a couple of million dollar pay cut, then I just can’t see this happening. Our bullpen is full. Apparently the Red Sox have also expressed interest in Wilson. Fine by me, let the Red Sox have him.

However if Wilson were to pitch for the Dodgers, he would have to shave off that nasty ugly scraggly moonshiner beard he wears. Otherwise I am afraid he might be mistaken for a homeless vagrant by the Los Angeles police department. Giant fans have nothing to worry about though. I think we’ll pass.
