I don't know how many of you get the A's news letter email but I received this today and it looks like a good deal. As a season ticket holder I will not be availing myself of this offer but there is no reason my fellow ANer's can't cash in.

Here is the link

Here is a description from the email after the jump.

Here is the A's story link.

From Jane Lee

Cassevah, a right-hander selected by Oakland in the Rule 5 Draft in December, pitched in just a pair of spring games for a total of two innings. He allowed two hits and one run for a 4.50 ERA as a member of the A's. The Angels took Cassevah back for $25,000, half of the A's original fee for selecting the righty

So long Bobby we hardly knew you. I know of one guy in the A's family that will miss him. I thought he was a long shot to make the team but I never want to give anything of value to the slengA.

First I want to say this is my first fanpost here, (I post at AN). I have noticed that although there are a lot of fanposts about single FA's there is not a single post, (that I have seen) that show the top UFA's/FA's we think the Sharks should be targeting now. Here is a list of some of the FA's I think the Sharks should take a look at. I will link all players to CapGeek and will also use NHL's Free agent list. Please feel free to add names I might have missed or rip me for FA's you think are crap. Oh, and yes I did just bring up most of these names here.

I just heard on MLB TV that the Rockies have brought up Carlos Gonzalez from the minors today. He is going to play tonight at St. Louis and will bat seventh in the line up. To make room for CarGon they sent down Matt Murton to the Sky Sox. Here is a what The Denver Post had to say today.

COLORADO SPRINGS — Rockies top prospect Carlos Gonzalez has been promoted to the big-league club from the Triple-A Sky Sox.

Gonzalez, a centerpiece of the Matt Holliday trade, will join the Rockies in St. Louis. Matt Murton was optioned to the minor leagues.

Gonzalez, 23, was leading the minor-leagues with 59 RBIs. The outfielder was also leading the Sky Sox in homers (10), triples (7), extra base hits (29) and slugging percentage (.630).

I hope all of the AN nation joins me in wishing CarGon all the sucess in the world. 

Update: CarGon is not in the line up today as Seth Smith is hitting seventh in left field.
