I'm actually posting this as a way of bringing back readers who may have abandoned my blog because of my IE7 bug (which I finally solved today). No more crashes for those of you using IE7, I hope.

"Barry is back," a National League scout told FanHouse. "He's pretty close to what he was. I'd say he's 80 percent of what he was, at least. He's got his velocity back. He's not back to 2002, when he won the Cy Young, but he's a competitive, championship-level pitcher again."

Even though he used that phrase, he's not that pessimistic. He still thinks he can be ready for opening day.

Athletics Nation Ask David Forst

I listed this as a Fan Shot, but got almost no response, so I'm trying this.

I am hosting a fan Q&A with A's assistant GM David Forst on my blog. You can read more details here.

There are instructions there as to how to send your questions (don't simply post them here) and what type of questions are most likely to get good answers. I did this last week with Bobby Evans, the director of player personnel with the Giants, and I got a lot of questions from Giants fans. Don't let them outdo you! I have faith in you AN.

I write a blog about the A's, and this is specifically about Matt Holliday, but I think you'll find in interesting and applicable to all Rockies hitters.

Yes, I'm plugging my own blog here, but I think you'll all find this very interesting.

Athletics Nation Scout's view of the A's

http://www.baybridgebaseball.com/2009/01/scouts-view-of-as.html

This is Jeff Fletcher, former A's beat writer for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. I've started a new blog of my own dedicated to the A's and Giants (although you can filter out the Giants stuff if you'd like). Please check it out.

I will be covering the A's for two weeks in spring training, so there is sure to be some good original content here in the weeks to come.

Thanks AN!

Athletics Nation Chavez says he might be out for the season

http://baseball.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=2241257&mode=

Eric Chavez rejoined the A's today and said he's not sure if he'll be able to play again this season.

"I basically have a week or two to see whether I'm going to play again this year or not," Chavez said.

Chavez has been out with a sore right shoulder since early July. He was in San Diego doing rehab for three weeks, and he rejoined the A's to resume some light baseball activity today, with the idea of finding out just what he can do.

Chavez said right now it's possible he'd miss the rest of the season, possible he'd undergo surgery, and possible this injury could linger into 2009.

"I'm just dealing with a really bad shoulder," Chavez said. "There are a lot of things that are going on."

Look for more in Saturday's Press Democrat.

In other A's injury news, Frank Thomas ran for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list. Thomas said he felt some discomfort, which is to be expected, and he'll have a better idea of his status by Sunday.

Joey Devine threw a simulated game. He is scheduled to make his first minor league rehab start on Monday.
