Open Game Thread: A's vs. Twins

Martin_brodeur_300_tiny by Blez on Comment 407 comments

A's are already up 6-1 as they drove Francisco Liriano to the showers.  Just need Greg Smith to shut the Twins down now.

How good is it to see Frank Thomas in the lineup again?

Sorry again for the downtime.  Been a miserable experience for all of us at SBN.

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!

As expected, this "aggressive base running"

leads to lots of extra outs … Denorfia in the 1st (who would subsequently have scored from 2nd anyway), and now Sweeney on the error (although with him on 2nd and Frank on 1st that might have been a triple play by Emil).

by green star oakland on Apr 24, 2008 1:25 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sweeney should NEVER be attempting

aggressive base running, not with his knee issues because the chances are that he isn’t going to make it. The Denorfia play was just stupid because it was just clear they were going to hit the cutoff man. I appreciate the attempt to be aggressive, but you need to be aggressive when it makes sense.

One hope

I hope the signing of Frank Thomas doesn’t take any playing time from Barton by Sweeney getting starts at first (like today).

Giving Dale a day off once every couple of weeks is fine. Starting Sweeney at first against every lefty will really suck.

I'd expect Sweeney to play 1B in about 2/3 of starts vs LHSPs pre-ASB ...

... at which point, he’ll be traded (if he’s hitting well) or relegated to PH duties (if not).

Davis likely to go when Buck is back

I think there should be a pretty straight platoon in LF – Brown should never be in the lineup against a righty – his history and his splits already this year show that. Sweeney and Denorfia should split time, not necessarily platoon, in CF, and Buck stays in RF. If he doesn’t pick it up on his return, we get to see Gonzalez by June.

He had Tommy John

He has lost a good deal of velocity to this point and hasn’t regained his control like they’d hoped he would have by now. Its very possible he never regains either the velocity or the control, but also still possible he regains both. I sure hope so, he was amazing.

Looks like we shouldn’t count on Chavez anytime before mid-season, if at all. I’d thought Hannahan would be a suitable replacement, but he’s been awful so far – offensively and defensively. Murphy isn’t a longterm solution either. Any ideas? Or are we stuck with this?

Question for salb918 and others...

When Buck gets off the DL, can we put him on the 25-Man Roster for 1 Day, and send him down to AAA then next? I want to see him regain form in Sacramento, and it would be nice to push back his Arbitration Eligibility to 2011.

So, when Buck is Eligible to come off the DL, “option” Ryan Sweeney down to AAA, with a gentlemen’s agreement that he’ll be brought back up ASAP. This gives us the chance keep our current roster intact.

Is this Possible?

Two things

1. Buck can get his swing back in AAA as it is—he can spend up to 20 days with the club on a rehab assignment.

2. If the team really wants to push his free agency back a season, they can send him down to AAA as soon as he comes off the DL. It’s not required that the player be active on the MLB roster for a day first. Connor Robertson, last season, was DLed, missed about a month, then was activated and immediately optioned down. (And was then eventually waived, outrighted to Sacramento, and then traded to Arizona in the Haren deal. Pretty eventful season.)
