"Certainly, we're in a situation right now where we're a little thin," Littlefield said.

Gentlemen, I present to you 2007's Understatesman of the Year.

This is unusual for DK
If he wrote it, he must have solid evidence confirming it.

Agreed.
DK usually doesn't write fluff speculative pieces, so I'm guessing his sources are legit...

Jack Wilson
The following is from the sports blog "Fake Teams" ...

"Any team willing to take Jack Wilson and the remaining $14 million through 2009 would immediately be marked as "suckers" going forward.  I'm afraid Pirates' GM Dave Littlefield will have a hard time finding someone to increase his club's membership beyond one."

And this speculation ...
"Phillies centerfielder Michael Bourn to the Pirates for relievers Sahwn Chacon and either Salomon Torres or Damaso Marte."

That last one doesn't sound right.

Michael Bourn
not impressive, but he does walk at the infamous 10% rate. But he would just be a minor improvement over Duffy. I feel Chacon and Marte would be giving up too much.
Dave Littlefield's shit doesn't work in the regular season

Michael Bourn
I'm sorry, but that guy is not good. He's an incremental improvement on Duffy at best. Why the Pirates would be willing to give up anything of value for that guy is beyond me. Then again, lots of things the Pirates do are beyond me.

I like the idea of getting rid of Chacon...
...but I don't think Bourn is anything special.
