We could survive losing Kennedy & Embree

but I am hoping there isn't a "blockbuster" in the works.  I want to keep Piazza now and it sounds like he knows he's finished as a catcher.

Agree, I don't think the Yankees

would give the Athletics much for Piazza.  That is about the only place he'd make sense...or agree to.

There is a "gentleman's agreement" in place that Piazza won't be traded without his okay.

Letting Casilla go is the one that scares me.

He might end up being a better option at closer than Street.  Hate to admit it but that is the way I feel.

Why would the A's drop Casilla?
Because he isn't Jairo Garcia???

With all the weird "age" stuff, the A's have stuck with him.  Now he's fulfilling his promose (< that's a word created from "most promising").

I think he will inherit Calero's spot.  Calero
