Baker follows up the story:
"I didn't pull anything,'' Wilson said. "I felt some tightness in my leg behind my knee and after everything I went through last season, I thought 'I'm not going through this again' so I just shut it down right away. I went inside, the trainer looked at it and it was nothing serious.''
Wilson goes on to say that the pain was in a different place than his hamstring injury a year ago, which is reassuring for some reason.
Anyway, Jack will probably take it easy for a day or three as he eases himself back into action. And given the conditions that (1) whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and (2) Jack Wilson isn't dead, then according to science Wilson's hamstrings should be indestructible by now.

Yeah tightness this early doesn't exactly bode well.
:(

So much for that yoga regiment he was supposedly on all offseason.
Yay fluff stories!

Yoga regiment?
Is that anything like a Joy Division?

Can Jack's hamstring die while he still live?

Also, Jack Wilson worries me alot
Big injury worry at a defensively demanding position with an aging player who has concerns at the plate. I really don’t think I would have given him that extension (or maybe traded for him). I guess it is pretty tough to find a guy as good as he is defensively at SS but I feel like he might not have been the best option out there. He just feels like more downside than upside to me.

I dont have many worries as for the M's....
except at the position of catcher. Our 5 man rotation is looking solid. if we were to sign washburn back we could be really awesome. We could use some better middle relief, but you could possibly see Snell or French in the pen if they dont hit the 5 man. But I think Jack will be alright, if not put in Josh Wilson and hope no one can notice the difference, lol.
