The Braves signed first baseman Craig Wilson to a one year, $2 million deal.  Wilson will most likely split time at first base with rookie Scott Thorman and he’ll probably also see some time out in the outfield.  Wilson had a solid season in 2006 after becoming more of a part time player for the Pirates.  He broke out in 2004 when he hit 29 homeruns but outside of that season, he’s never played in more 131 games.  He has a career .834 OPS though and that’s pretty solid.  And at $2 million, I consider him a bargain.
