Athletics Nation Barry Zito Enigma, Solved!

One of the repeating issues with A's fans has been, since 2003, "What's wrong with Barry Zito?" We've patiently waited for him to get his ERA below 3, and be the kind of pitcher who can put up 20 wins in a season. Well fellow A's fans, I think I've solved the problem of Barry Zito.

Athletics Nation Dan Johnson: Rookie of the Year?

A lot of people have observed how the A's big turn around came when Bobby Crosby rejoined the team. While Crosby definitely helped invigorate our lineup, I think there's another piece that's often overlooked: the phenomenal bat of Dan Johnson.

Athletics Nation Will Dotel need Tommy John surgery?!

In today's edition of Under the Knife over at BP they spoke about Dotel's recent stint on the DL. I'll just paste the relevant portion below. It seems that Dotel might be out for a while. If this is true, his trade value just plummetted. :(

Athletics Nation Feliz versus Crosby?

Who would you rather have on your fantasy team? I'm really conflicted on this one. Crosby definitely has more pop in his bat, but I don't think his average will be as good as Feliz.

Athletics Nation The A's will stink this year! And I couldn't be happier!

Right now the A's are seven games out of first place in the AL West. Their offense has been non-existant. Many of our players are playing below their level.

And I'm just fine with that.

Athletics Nation Should we Trust in Beane this year?
