Open Thread: Spring Training Game 32 - Cubs at A's
by baseballgirl on Apr 1, 2009 11:57 AM PDT
Email
PrintIn case you missed it, Joey Devine will start the season on the DL, with no timetable for his return. Closer duty will go to Brad Ziegler, with Santiago Casilla and possibly Russ Springer available as backups.
The A’s play their last game of Spring Training today at Phoenix Muni against the Cubs and Carlos Zambrano. The A’s will send Dallas Braden to the mound in what would be his last start before Opening Day on Monday. Braden could go a long way in easing the fears of A’s fans about the starting rotation should he turn in a quality start.
Lineups

Soriano, LF
Miles, 2B
Lee, 1B

So are we gonna get a line-up for opening day?
My guess:
Sweeney
Cabrera
Giambi
Holliday
Cust
Chavez
Suzuki
Buck
Ellis
Looks plausible.
It doesn’t have Cust at #2 but I wasn’t expecting that anyway.

Yea, it's not my ideal line-up
But it’s startig to look obvious that Geren is going to slot Cabrera in the 2-spot and bat Giambi in front of Holliday. Although if Cabrera keeps hitting .360 I guess I can accept him batting second.
I’d still like to see Cust in front of Holliday, but I get the feeling Geren likes Giambi there a bit more.
Start at the very beginning....

anyone know how much work Ziegler got in with lefties this Spring?
Realizing it’s been a pretty small sample size last season, but my concern as a closer is that he’ll see more late-inning LH sub’s with his track record against lefties. (.288 BAA for LH, vs. .198 BAA for RH, with a similar OBA also reflected in the LH/RH splits). How about Outman for a closer against lefties? He’s got some serious LH/RH split action going on (ERA: 1.59/5.49), and he’s been argued as the “least qualified to be in the rotation” for his lack of pictch variety (=less useful as a closer).

Anyone hear anything new about the DirecTV/Dish situation?
I got yet another canned response from DirecTV, this time telling me that “because they don’t know where I live (BS!)” that “they can’t properly research the question and thusly the games PROBABLY won’t be available to me”.
Of course they know where I live, know which package I get and know how to cash my check every month. And they know how to offer me yet another free HD-DVR — which I will take, once this thing sorts itself out.
I haven't heard anything new but
From SuSlu’s article yesterday I read this:
Comcast is offering affiliates the first 25 games of the season free.
Does that mean we can watch the first 25 games & hope for an agreement by the 26th game?
Also I am sure the 1st week you can watch the games (if you have Directv) on the MLB package because it is free the 1st week (unless Directv blacks out A’s games which they threatened to do).
I wish all carriers could provide a MLB package.
I have Dish Network and only get NHL and NBA package offers. Could care less…I want MLB and NFL.
A's fan, trapped in North Carolina!
This could well be a Comcast PR move...
…and I could see DirecTV choosing to not accept the offer.
Nothing about this is straight forward, that’s for sure.
I really don’t want to switch back to Comcast. They are crooks. DirecTV is no better, of course.
Why can't they get it together, so EVERYONE can watch?
It’s ridiculous. Believe me, I remember the DirectTV/Comcast fight well a couple of years ago. Was terrible; I know just how you feel.

My wife and I are interning for the season at Mountain Bounty Farm
near Nevada City, Ca. They’re an organic farm that grows about 60 different crops. We spent the past couple days planting onions and doing broccoli starts. It was awesome! We made an entire feast last night with the 3 other interns where the only things that we had to buy (and not go out and harvest) were quinoa and beer. Can’t wait to go back.

A'S MAKE TRADE WITH CUBS!
Chicago. Where the Dead can Vote. Where the Voters of Tomorrow are found in the Obituaries of Today.
Athletics acquired RHP Rocky Roquet from the Cubs for a player to be named.
Roquet, 26, had a 3.36 ERA and a 63/30 K/BB ratio in 59 innings for Single-A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee last season. While we’re rooting for him to make it in the majors based on name alone, he’s probably going to peak as a Triple-A pitcher.

DH/4th OF
I think Giambi/Cust split 1st and DH and Davis/Deno start as sharing 4th OF duties, Deno is much better off the bench, more clutch, and I think in time with health will prove to be much better. Look at everything he has done since 2nd stint in Sac last year, WBC, and this spring…he is here for a reason, the guy just needed some time to come back from TJ surgery
It would be nice to have a spot for Denorfia but I don't think Cust will play any 1b this season.
