Your 2008 Athletics: It's Nothing Personal.
Yes.
I commented in the other thread that I’ll take a look tonight.
If you guys want me to check out A’s prospects, simply shoot me an email or comment in my blog – no guarantee that I find comments on AN. I’ll be more than happy to do so if you can find video! :)
