Open Thread: Spring Training Game 9 - Mariners vs. A's

PrintAfter Trevor Cahill (or K-Hill, if you prefer) turned in a sparkling performance yesterday in his three innings, adding to his hype, the pressure is now on new A's pitcher Edgar González, as he throws against Jarrod Washburn and the Mariners in today's game.
According to Wikipedia, RHP González (from Mexico) signed with Arizona in 2000, but was placed on the suspended list when he didn't report for assignment in the Dominican Republic. He made his MLB debut with Arizona in 2003; the youngest pitcher in baseball at the time; at 20 years old. González bounced between AAA and the big leagues from 2003 to 2006, but was on the Diamondbacks in 2007 out of the bullpen, and 2008 as a replacement starter.
Lineups:
Mariners
Gutierrez, F, CF
Betancourt, SS
Clement, DH
Shelton, 1B
LaHair, LF
Morse, 3B
Cedeno, 2B
Redman, RF
Johnson, R, C
Athletics
Davis, CF
Suzuki, C
Holliday, LF
Giambi, 1B
Chavez, DH
Crosby, SS
Cunningham, RF
Dillon, 3B
Wimberly, 2B

Let's go Oakland!
Geren now saying Crosby will need to play all positions in the IF and perhaps spelling Cust in the OF as well
really? Wow, I wonder what Crosby thinks of that?

DUCHSCHERER UPDATE
from Slusser
In another note, Justin Duchscherer is back from Los Angeles and he said Dr. Lewis Yocum has recommended the same course of action as the A’s medical staff, along with a stronger inflammatory medication. Duchscherer won’t throw again until Monday, but he said if he is improved at that point, he believes he can get ready for the season quickly and be ready for Opening Night.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I'll believe it when I see it, but damn that's good news.

I don't know what the best news in that report is
The thought that Duchscherer may not be hurt that bad, or the fact that an actual expert agreed with the opinion of the A’s medical staff. Both are exciting developments.
I believe that would be "anti"-inflammatory...
but with our medical staff you never know.
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.

So when will Cabrera and Nomar get into a game?
"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
He's only making 4m. Gotta make ends meet.
