what does "change" include

A new rumor regarding A’s closer Huston Street seems to surface daily, and Friday’s speculation du jour, courtesy of a scout working Oakland’s game against the visiting Rangers, had the A’s sending Street to the Dodgers for third baseman Andy LaRoche “and change.” LaRoche and Street both participated in pre-game warmups with their respective teams Friday night, though, so if a deal is indeed made, it wouldn’t be announced until late Friday night or at some point over the weekend. LaRoche, a 24-year-old right-handed hitter, is batting .214 with two homers, three RBIs and a .333 on-base percentage in 26 games with Los Angeles this season. Also said to be interested in Street, among others, are the Reds, Rays and Brewers; those same three teams and a handful of others have reportedly kicked the tires on the availability of A’s lefty setup man Alan Embree. —Mychael Urban

chavez

even more reason to get some type of 3b. sorry hannahan is back up quality. plus baisley another injury or he wouldve had a chance

http://baseball.pressdemocrat....241257&mode=

Eric Chavez rejoined the A’s today and said he’s not sure if he’ll be able to play again this season.

“I basically have a week or two to see whether I’m going to play again this year or not,” Chavez said.

Chavez has been out with a sore right shoulder since early July. He was in San Diego doing rehab for three weeks, and he rejoined the A’s to resume some light baseball activity today, with the idea of finding out just what he can do.

Chavez said right now it’s possible he’d miss the rest of the season, possible he’d undergo surgery, and possible this injury could linger into 2009.

“I’m just dealing with a really bad shoulder,” Chavez said. “There are a lot of things that are going on.”

Look for more in Saturday’s Press Democrat.

In other A’s injury news, Frank Thomas ran for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list. Thomas said he felt some discomfort, which is to be expected, and he’ll have a better idea of his status by Sunday.

Joey Devine threw a simulated game. He is scheduled to make his first minor league rehab start on Monday.

- Pot-roast up some beef cross rib with farmers market carrots
- or bake a cassoulet with some Saag’s and some white beans I’ve been simmering the last two days
