SuSlu reports on MaEl kidney removal
As if it couldn't get any worse, the injury bug just will not leave the A's alone. Early reports this morning by Susan Slusser reports that MaEl, our beloved unicorn, may have to have his kidney removed.
This of course will open up a slot for Bobby Crosby, who is set to have a break out year. After all his hard work and "dietary" tips from Mark McGwire, Bobby is expected to hit for power and find success laying off the outside breaking ball. I think it is safe to say we all expect Bobby to have an awesome season this year.
Ellis will be laid up for awhile, so Todd Linden will be invited to camp as a non-roster invitee and given a chance to compete for a spot on the roster. How that is related to Mark's kidney, I have no idea. But in the meantime, enjoy your April 1st.

The A's are carrying a story out of spring training today that Todd Linden is speculating that he is not going to make the team and is vocalizing his displeasure with playing time.
