Erstad, an Athletic?

pachydermOAFC — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 22:15:40 -0000

Former Angel Darin Erstad come be an Oakland Athletic by today according to MLB.com and Mychael Urban. In this article, David Frost, Asst. GM has cofirmed a one-year deal. Wonder if this deal will effect Blanton/Milledge trade talks? Also, the situation with Swisher and Johnson since Erstad can play both first and the outfield.

Marco Scutaro is having a great time in Winter League in his home country of Venezula. He even won the batting title in the regular season. Hope, the success can translate to MLB's regular season with the A'S, and post season, too.

Unlike the "fans voting" Comeback Player award where Jim Thome of the White Sox won it. Our "Big Hurt" Frank Thomas is the AL Comeback Player of the Year voted by the fellow his players. Now, Billy sign the big guy.

What is your favorite Rickey Henderson's Moment

pachydermOAFC — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 00:39:39 -0000

Rickey Henderson can argue as one of all-time best Oakland Athletics. Since recent news of him returning to the Majors, what is your favorite moment of Rickey as an Athletic or any other big league club. If you can't think of one, I made a little poll. Lastly, my personal favorite moment was Rickey's 939 steals just because I remember running from school just the highlight on ESPN Sportcenter plus the A'S beat the Yankees.
