Texas released him shortly after the trade. Mets signed him to a minor-league contract and now he’s a 25-year-old prospect in single A.

Thanks - sounds like he's not a likely contender
for next year’s rotation, but possibly an upgrade over DiNardo for “long relief/spot starter”.

Grammar pedant pet peeve
KenKo just said our offense needs to take a “quantum leap”.
People use that phrase like a quantum leap is something huge. In fact, it’s just the opposite. It’s the smallest possible leap. By definition, you can’t leap less.

They've mostly been a station-to-station team for years, so I guess that counts as quantum leaps.

Given how bad the A's are scoring runs
I’d have to agree.

And can we get a third baseman who can hit OR field, either would suffice.

See this is what DiNardo so fantastic:
He can give up four runs on a series of crushed line drives, but then BOOM – double play, just like that. He’s always just one pitch away from putting a ridiculously badly pitched inning out of our misery.

Game's over, but you don't expand the zone just to get it over with faster.

The one Sweeney was rung up one before on a 3-2 pitch,

That's not the point.
He’s sending as message to all his players and the umpires. You never let someone walk all over you because it’s convienent. Eddings has a job to do, and Geren should have sent the message that he expects him to do it. The point would have set well with his young players. Sweeney shouldn’t have had to say a word to Eddings.

Besides which....
Eddings probably felt like he was putting a rookie player in his place due to him questioning his calls in the last AB.
