If Soler isn't some kind of delicious Puig/Cespedes hyrbid times a billion I am going to be so sad.

 

Yep, while Theo's "plan" has merit, he also could have very easily become the A's if he was smarter.

 

Signing the worst of the 3 cubans (so far), not trading Barney, Gregg, and Russell while they had any value, still not finding a decent veteran reliever, missing on the 1 big contract they did give out (Jackson) have nothing to do with the "not spending money for a while" plan. This was my biggest fear when he took the job and so far it's being realized. Beane and Friedman would have been better choices IMO. Doesn't mean it won't work out or we can't make the playoffs 8 years in a row and win a title, but the early returns are discouraging when you see the Oakland freaking A's playing like the 27 Yankees on a comparable payroll.

I've posted since Theo was hired that he's very smart and has a plan that hopefully will work out, but he didn't have the experience that Beane had in starting from scratch and building a winner with a modest payroll. Theo took over a very good team (89 win average) and made them better (93 win average) with a mix of prospects, good signings, and a gigantic payroll.

A year before Epstein took over the Cubs, the A's were just as bad as the organization Epstein inherited by all the usual standards (MLB wins, farm system ranking) and without the budget he has had.

That throw is maybe one of the best throws I've ever seen... but Cespedes completely Soriano'd that ball before the throw.

I remember these 2 like it was yesterday.

 

 

 

That Guillen throw is ridiculous also, LOL Nefi.

 

Also this Vlad throw always gets me, throws a 1 hopper to him plate from basically the warning track without really getting any momentum behind.

Cespedes did it again. By which I mean he badly misplayed a ball and then made up for it with an outfield assist. I'm beginning to think that he is [expletive] up on purpose in order to show off his arm.
