I don't feel like starting a new thread, but wouldn't it seem like the A's make a good match for us this year? Their offense is pretty awful, and they have an abundance of starters performing over their heads/really well. More specifically, but less practically, would DeRosa and Pie make a good base for Harden or Blanton? Cedeno at SS(I know, I said less practically) with a Theriot/Fontenot platoon at 2B probably will be relatively close to our current middle infield going forward, plus we get a significant upgrade in the rotation.
