Athletics fan and runner

Posted just a few minutes ago on the A's' facebook page. I can not find the information anywhere else, however.

In case you missed this article.

From this brief article:

Our shiny new outfielder has some bad facial hair going on. At least he doesn't eat 30 pounds of meat a day.

It appears that Chili Davis is our new hitting instructor. I remember him warming up with like 6 bats in each hand.

Good luck Mark. May you play well against the Gnats.

yes, he said it. Who wants to bet that Sweeney will have a higher OPS than Ichiro next season?

While this may just be internet rumor fodder it sounds quite fun to think about. If the Marlins acquire Reyes could they move Hanley for maybe some pitching? It would be a buy low on Hanley and thus the Marlins might handle some of the 46.5 Mil remaining on his deal.... maybe....

I see that we have traded for Kila Ka'aihue. He put up some monster numbers at AAA as an overaged 26 in 2010 (.319 .463 .598 1.060 avg, obp, slg, ops) so he might be worth a small loss gamble. Why not, really. That said, who the heck was Phillip Hollingsworth? I can't find information on him anywhere. Was he somebody, some franken non prospect, that Billy built based on some left over broken parts (you know, Harden's alarm clock, Mecir's foot, Geren's heart)? There seems to be nothing on him.

Good for Mr. Kouzmanoff. He said all the right things when he was sent down, played about as well as he could have potentially played, and now might get another shot. I don't imagine that we will get anything of value in return for him at this point but I would be interested to see who we get back if it is not for cash considerations. Good for him. I hope he does well at the big league level against the Giants especially.

Is it me or is he going to be Chuck Norris, Henry Rollins, and Bruce Lee all rolled into one? No, that would be beneath him.

So, Coco might be heading to the DL. Coud we see Taylor soon? Obvously I would not want to wish injury on Crisp but I would love to see Taylor get some big league at bats in the coming weeks.

No word on the return. I will miss Ziegler a lot. He really seemed like a great guy and I always had positive feelings about him as a reliever. His streak in his rookie year will always be remembered.

a blog just about memories from 1989.

As posted in the roto world blurb on the left Weeks will get called up. I guess this means that Ellis is to go to the DL. Lets hope this is good. Either Weeks plays well, or others play well, and we rebound for this season or Weeks gets a lot of playing time and we look towards the future. Either can be good.

A nice little interview. I love his shirt!

I want pictures of godzilla!

Zack Greinke is likely on the market. Should we?
