According to MLBTR the Richie Robnett experiment is over. We sent him and Justin Sellers to the the Cubbies in exchange for Righty reliever Michael Wuertz.

Quote from MLBTR:

Wuerz, 30, posted a 3.63 ERA in 44.6 innings for the Cubs this year with a 6.04 K/9.  He's signed at $1.1MM for '09.

Beane continues to work on the bullpen, after Brown went down and is gone he has signed Russ Springer and now acquired Wuertz. Personally I think we still need a solid lefty out in he pen unless Outman is our guy.

Just read that Keith Foulke (Kieth Folke) has been placed on the DL with what is called "right shoulder inflammation".

Jerry Blevins has been re-called from Sac-Town to take his spot in the pen. Personally I like this choice over Braden and/or DiNardo.  With Embree struggling a bit of late it would be nice to see someone new step in and fill the void a bit. Blevins is 2-2 w/ a 2.78 ERA (10 saves.)

Let's Go Oakland!
