Wilson wins Pittsburgh's Tanner Award

The Pittsburgh chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced that Jack Wilson has won the chapter's Chuck Tanner Award, given annually to the Pirates( priates jerseys )player who is the most cooperative in helping writers carry out their daily work. It is the second time in the past that Wilson has won the honor.

Wilson finished the season with the Mariners( mariners jerseys )after being part of a seven-player trade on July 29 in which the Pirates acquired five players. Thirteen Pirates players received at least a third-place vote in the balloting, though left fielder Nyjer Morgan and left-hander Zach Duke finished closest to Wilson in the voting. Jason Bay, who was dealt to Boston on July 31, 2008, was the award's recipient last year.
