SO i was curious around a yr + later, how the santana/harden trade returns for 2 small market teams look Twins and A's look so far Santana kind put Minn in a corner and forced their hand, to...
His last 4 starts vs the yankees, red sox, rangers, and orioles have gotten some attention. Seems like he's been on the prospect radar for awhile having been involved in several major trades,...

Any thoughts on his future? He didnt make BAs top 30 or so prospects last week. Is he considered a guy with polished hitting ability but not alot of upside? Did his short stint in AAA hurt his...
He was the 12th overall pick in the 2008 draft. By most projections he was considered to be chosen in the 20's, a fringe 1st rd type. Then late draft, he became a high riser due to the lack of...
So i was reading this week BA prospect hot sheet. "Mazzaro doesn't have any outstanding pitches, but he throws strikes and keeps the ball on the ground, which is why he has a 2.38 ERA in...
Both these players were among the better college OFs in the 07 draft and now looks like future CFs for the AL West teams around 2010-2011. Julio Borbon Rangers: Texas Rangers...
From the prospect experts out there, i'd like an opinion on matt sulentic. In his 06 debut he looked like one of the better pure hitters at the highschool level to come from that 06...
So usually every season you have that rookie that comes of nowhere and surprises. Bailey was middling, fringe top 15-20 prospect in a deep A's system, who got blasted in AA as a SP. Got demoted to...
So if you've followed Beane's man crush going back 5 yrs now. The A's liked Milledge in that 2003 draaft,
a couple write ups and video from A's beatwriters of his throwing session this morning. apparently, he'll spendind time in arizona extended spring training then head to short season Van in the...
This pitch has been extinct from the arsenal of pitchers for awhile now due to violent consequences and risk of injury. a marginal 24th rd lefty from texas tech became a decent prospect due to that...
i dont know if this is a feel good story since he made his own mistakes, but an interesting situation to follow. it wouldnt surprise me if he does get a chance since their rotation is so influx and...
Ok, so we all know the Athletics have some young talented arms. Trevor Cahill Brett Anderson Vin Mazzaro James Simmons Henry Rodriguez Fautino De los Santos Michael Inoa plus...
this 2007 1st rd supp. pick sort of had a breakout yr in 08. He was known as a pure hitter w/ good obp ability but power was an issue. Over the offseason, He put on weight, adjusted his swing with...
so this question was mentioned in a recent ask BA, only alderson/madbum, tillman/matsuz, cahill/anderson were mentioned. are there any like holland/felliz, price/mcgee + davis/niemann or others...
so with news that A's resign mark ellis to a 2 yr deal, where does this leave 2b/OF eric patterson? at the time of the harden deal, he looked like a decent back end part of the trade that could use...
interesting article on the direction of both bay area teams...what do you think fair analysis? seems to miss mention of certain players on both sides. the argument that giants have an easier path...

looks like a good possibility, probably very likely. that good will gesture of the territorial right given from A's to Giants in the early 90's looks to be their downfall 15+ yrs later Thanks...
wow it would be not far fetched if oakland's only team by the end of the decade will be the warriors. bring on SAC or Vegas!! maybe wolff's frat brother selig will get his contraction wish...
If the A's decide to trade Huston Street this offseason, might they give a shot to Joey Devine? Yes, I realize Brad Ziegler might have been one of the best stories of 08 but Devine has your...
