Guess who’s (kind of) back.

OAKLAND — The mysterious leg soreness that has kept Travis Buck off the field for a handful of weeks has decreased — at least enough for him to resume baseball activity.

He was put on the DL because of his strained oblique

(which apparently was torn). I think his oblique is fine now, but when he started rehabbing, he had this “mysterious” leg soreness, so he shut it down for a bit. Sounds like it’s getting better.

About 20 years in captivity. Mojo was 6 or 7 when he suddenly became ill, died in my arms

in the vet’s waiting room. I had to walk home and I stopped at a bar for a stiff drink to ease my pain. Had his body tucked under my A’s coat but he was big and his tail slipped down. Bartender was kind but said it was a health issue and I had to leave.

The kids near my house called me the frog lady. Adults knew me as “weren’t you the one who brought a dead lizard to the bar?”. That’s my life in a nutshell.

A while back, in response to one of the routine

complaints that the A’s get more than their shares of injuries, I skimmed through the injury records of all teams this year. My conclusion was that the A’s were above average but not the worst. Rangers and Angels also had worse than average, but worst of all was Boston.

I think if it weren’t for the injuries they’d be totally dominating.

Also,

http://www.soxprospects.com/players/williamson-fabian.htm

Scouting Report: Williamson has very good command of three pitches: (1) a high-80s fastball; (2) a plus 11-to-6 curveball; and (3) an above-average changeup. His curveball is by far his best pitch, and will buckle a lot of knees, especially at the lower levels. Strong presence on the mound. Tough and competitive. Deceptive delivery hides his changeup well. Has some room to fill out, could add velocity.

Patterson isn't worthless.

He’s sucked for us, so we think so, but he’s a guy who actually made it to the majors and hit very well in AAA. As we discovered in Oakland, that’s no guarantee, but sometimes a guy like that will mysteriously finally put it together and become quite good. So Boston figures they’ve picked up a guy who will be junk bench filler for a few weeks while they wait out injuries. If he happens to bloom with the change of scenery, they got something; if he doesn’t then they just dump him when they need the roster spot back.

Patterson is a guy who can't field any position competently, runs the bases like he learned the rules of the game yesterday

Doesn’t draw walks often and can’t hit for average. He occasionally provides some power, but really, he IS worthless to a Major League team.

www.zekeishungry.com

by thejd44 on Jun 27, 2010 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

He's playing like worthless now, but given

his history there’s a non-trivial chance that he could figure it out and become good. Plenty of guys are great in the minors, then awful for a few years in the majors, and then after being dumped several times become stars (eg, Nelson Cruz, Carlos Peña). It’s not likely that will happen to Patterson, but it’s possible. Compare that to the likelihood that a 21-year-old pitching prospect will reach the majors at all and they’re comparable.

In the meantime, Boston’s bench is depleted and they’ve run out of AAA guys they want to bring up, so they need a junk filler guy for occasional pinch-running and to sit on the bench and be back up. Patterson can do that as well as anyone, and they’re low enough on the waiver list that they couldn’t count on getting him that way.

I think the trade makes sense of Boston.

I don't think motivation was the issue with Patterson,

but I do think that change of scenery can affect players in quasi-random ways. And if you suck to begin with then rolling the dice on a change is good.

Also, is Patterson even going to play much? I assumed he’d mostly be sitting on their bench. The way I figure it Bill Hall replaces Pedroia as 2B, and E-Pat replaces Bill Hall as utility man.

Jogged after a fly ball which ended as a triple

Longoria initiated an argument with him and they had to restrain Upton. Upton remained in the game and walked in the 5th and was picked off.

Longoria should have decked him in private. Ever since 2007 when he it 24 Home runs and .300 he has gone way down hill.

Guy must have heasd problems. He’s only 25.

I wouldn’t mind trying to pry him away from TB

By the way, we are NOT the last team to have a double digit HR guy.

Second to last. Seattle’s HR leader is, heh, Milton Bradley, with 7.

She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.

that sounds so messy. and ick.

...being a role model I probably wouldn't recommend eating dirt. But at the same time, I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to eat some dirt.

LIGHTLY BREADED WITH WISCONSIN CHEESE.

Wuertz was scratched from a minor league game on Wednesday, but bounced back quickly on Thursday, throwing mostly fastballs and sliders, although he did mix in three sliders. -Rotoworld

Texas needs to lose tonight

GAME RECAP IS UP

Enjoy

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
