Oakland Athletics

Recalled INF Eric Patterson from Triple-A Sacramento; Optioned OF Matt Murton to Triple-A Sacramento.

 

I know its not our problem anymore, but its still good to keep tabs on em.

why isn't everyone talking about how stupid the A's are for playing Eric over Murton??

Because we're not A's fans, and the situations aren't really similar?

Because we prefer to talk about how stupid the A's are for giving us Harden AND Gaudin for Gally and those two.

my fault, he's a .100 hitter in Oakland. Nice -27 OPS+ too

I normally hate Christina Karhl, but she summed it up pretty well here...

 

That didn't take long, but Murton has that sort of effect on you; direct exposure to his limitations has a way of breaking the spell of some of his happier projections and knee-jerk boosterism among my fellow statheads.
