Jerry Crasnick at ESPN's MLB Insider has the following partial quote:

".....While Thomas might fit as a DH in Anaheim or Baltimore -- or even re-sign with Chicago -- his most intriguing suitor could be Oakland. Thomas lives in Arizona and apparently likes the thought of playing for a West Coast club. He's looks like the kind of bold move that Billy Beane enjoys making to shake things up a little."

How about Thomas batting 5th behind Chavez.  Assuming Frank's health holds up (a big "if" if recent history can be believed) then that should make for a very interesting 2006 for the A's.....

What think ye all at AN???
