He's not going to pitch today, unless it goes deep I suppose.
-
Methinks some baserunning drills may be in order for certain members of this team. You can't blame the baserunner in that situation can you?
-
poop At least we'll have the heart of the order up.
-
No Marmol today sucks. I wish we could clone 6 of him for the bullpen.
-
steal home, felix!
-
Nice hustle, little cajun.
-
Fontenot, please shut us all up with a go ahead base hit. Thanks
-
Don't you just love having Fonenot coming up in this big situation!?

Ramirez is amazing with his bare hand.
-
I don't understand why everyone seems to think Cook is such a bad pitcher? Is it just because you have never heard of him? He's solid, especially considering his home park.
-
How ridiculous is it that Hill would be pulled in this situation.
-
If Thomas starts slugging again I can definitely see the A's putting Cust or Sweeney on the market or Thomas and basically get a decent prospect or two for free.

whoa
-
How? I would like to know as well. I think Pat's great.
-
A fairly decent pitcher?
-
this is a family site!

Kosuke knows walking
-
I think he's going to pick him off.
-
It's amazing to me how often major league managers hit bad hitters at the top of lineups just because they fit that speedy/bunty/contact mold.
-
Frank Thomas for the A's in 2006 may have provided them with the most production per dollar for a post arbitration player ever. He just might do it again this year.

Is it time to make Cedeno a starter?

I like this poster. A lot. One thing I'd like to add, even though I'm not sure it means anything. I don't really consider a year in which someone produces more the previous year to be a breakout if it follows the natural growth curve of a players career. To me, a breakout year would be one in which they perform so well that their career curve is altered. Basically a semantic argument based on what a "breakout" is, but I just thought I'd throw that out there. -

Drew's contract is off the books by 2011. Soriano's contract is off the books by 2014. Injury prone or not, Drew has a shorter contract, thus IMO would have more value to the Cubs, then a semi-productive healthy Soriano. Soriano is a better player. Drew is statistically a pretty decent player, but we dont need another average outfield how will that help us out in anyway more than Soriano does? I don't think anyone is really arguing that Drew is better than Soriano (which he may be, that's not really the point of the thread as I see it) rather they are arguing that saving about 20 million a year from 2012-2014 is worth whatever loss of production there is (although it's debatable that there would even be a loss of production). Personally I feel that replacing Soriano with a more OBP-centric player would actually benefit the team, even if there is a pretty large decrease in power. Especially considering Soriano is put into the leadoff spot in the order.
