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.

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
