Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

A's to sign Thomas

I am really excited about this--stay healthy Frank!
Let the lineup debate begin:  Ellis, Kendall, Chavez, Thomas, Bradley, Crosby, Kotsay, Payton, Swisher?

From espn:  The Oakland Athletics and longtime Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas have agreed to a deal, sources told ESPN.com's Buster Olney on Wednesday.

Thomas is expected to sign a one-year contract.

Wrong
Payton is gone...  or perhaps Kotsay.  Johnson will be playing everyday.

Hip hip
horray! if heathy, this makes our lineup dangerous, which hasnt been the case in too long.
I dont know the specifics of his injury, but with our depth we can give him good rest without too much of a dropoff, and hopefully that will help him stay healthy.
I dont know what all the naysayers are going on about, anyone who he takes playing time from will be a good thing, hopefully he'll take most of the time away from payton, our outfield D will still be very good.
I can feel the playoffs, and this is jan, i love the a's
