3/14 DLD: for the hell of it
Hello Fellow ANers, let's get things going.
SI, for once, has decided to take a break from covering Johnny Damon, Curt Schilling, and Pedro Martinez to throw us A's fans a bone. Actually, John Donovan wrote a pretty good article about Thomas and included a few notes about other A's players:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/john_donovan/03/14/big.hurt/index.html
Here are a couple of excerpts from two recent ESPN chats. The first is from Gary Gillette's chat:
"Brandon (PA): How do you think Frank Thomas will do in Oakland?"
"Gary Gillette: Poorly. While it's possible Big Frank will be healthy, happy, and productive, I'd give 3-1 odds against that happening. I think he's done. "

The second is from Rob Neyer's chat from today:
"Tre (Chicago): Can Rich Harden nab the Cy Young this year? The only real difference betw. him and Johan Santana is one has played a few full seasons."
"Rob Neyer: That's one real difference, and a pretty big one. Here's another; in 2005, Santana walked 45 hitters in 232 innings; Harden walked 43 in 128 innings. I love Harden. But Santana's in a class all by himself."

And finally, Mychael Urban returns with another edition of "A's Mailbag," addressing our relative abundance of catching prospects, what's in store for Juan Cruz this year, and a few other goodies:
Sorry this DLD is short; I just wanted to get the DLD rolling for today. When the boss is away, the mice will play, but the boss won't be gone for long.

I know the A's dont preach running in their system, but to have minor league games where nobody runs the bases is going too far.

They don't have to hit or catch, either

Red Sox to win it all in 2006
I don't know what Perry is smoking in picking the Red Sox, but he does rate the A's #5.

Urban's rosy predictions
Cy Young: Rich Harden, A's
Damn, that's an optimism smoothie. I will be excited if neither of them spends time on the DL this year. And I don't mean "On The DL" either.
ps. Kk, I thought your Dump was just fine. They don't all have to be dissertations (Sal or Sharon) or photo albums (jlaff) or pro web layouts (eamb). Hell, I posted two Dumps in one day with no links in them, and I haven't been BaNnEd YeT. Pony up!

Only when I've had some of this.
