Eric Davis and Gary Sheffield-like swing speed.

I was always slightly uncomfortable with his moniker -- "Preston Wilson: Mookie Wilson's Stepson AND Nephew."

Preston is Mookie's brother's kid and therefore Mookie's nephew. When Mookie married his brother's wife, he bacame Mookie's stepson. Mookie will always be my favorite all time Met but that is one wierd situation.

Sorry to hear about Preston V who was born 3 months premature and then passed away a couple of weeks later. My heart goes out to the Wilson family.

In 4 years of playing he has 18 career home runs against the Mets. He must get pumped when he sees his uncle/stepdad.

His first few games as a Met were exciting. I think he had three hits his first game, and the next game he had at least one hit and a stolen base.

It was sad to see him get traded away, since he was the Mets top prospect at the time, but you have to pay for quality, and Piazza is certainly quality.

Let's not be too fast to get Preston back. Before going to Colorado he was an overpaid and under-producing slugger who struck out too many times and the Marlins were dying to get rid of. Sure he had a monster year in Colorado, but I wouldn't count on big numbers in NY. He is not the way to go.

Looks like he strikes out too much, but he seems to have ability.

The Mets hyped the heck out of him in 1998, put him in their scorebook with a big article, then traded him to Florida for Mike Piazza. Another brilliant marketing decision!

I hope he can cut down on the strikeouts.

How can you not like this guy? Stepson/nephew of Mookie and him and a couple of other guys got us Piazza.

When I was playing with the Mets organization in 1978 in Jackson, Mississippi we would pick-up Mookie and take him to the park never realizing that Ppreston was his step-son. Mookie treated with respect and care obviously he turned out to be one heckuva ball player. Take the nephew-step-son equation out of the picture the kid turned out fine and his dad is one of the all-time most-liked Mets.
