Gabe Gross Lands In Oakland
The Oakland A's, in search of a fourth outfielder, have agreed to a deal with Gabe Gross:
A career .239/.337/.399 hitter, the 31 year old Gross has made a name for himself by playing good to great defense at all three outfield positions. His defensive value makes up for a lackluster bat, and between Gross, Coco Crisp, Rajai Davis, and Ryan Sweeney, the A's have put together an outfield that will have a wonderful influence on the pitching staff.
The addition of Gross will likely lead to the demotion (or trade) of Travis Buck, a promising outfielder whose career has been derailed by injuries. Gross will step in to back up all three outfield positions and also act as a left-handed bat off the bench.
A's blog Athletics Nation is having a lively discussion on the signing.
