Anderson Done for Season?

I think we all figured that after Brett Anderson left yesterdays game prematurely, no good news was to follow. According to Urban, Anderson is likely done for the season and we probably all felt that was a likely scenario. So, now what? Were 1/3 of the way through the season and very much holding our own. We could attempt to add a pitcher via free agency or trade, but thats not this teams only need. We also need some more punch in the lineup as days like yesterday with this teams current roster will be few and far between. Taylor and Carter look like they need more time in AAA, and probably the entire season. So do we have a deep enough pool of young players, and enough payroll flexibility to add the 2-3 players its probably going to take to put up a good fight the rest of the season? I'd like to think the answer is yes, because i'd hate to waste such a good start to the season, but what's the most likely scenario at this point? Is Beane going to add to this team for 2010 or are we looking at another punt at mid-season like in 2008?

These injuries leave a deadened feeling in my chest.
"I thought it was going in," Warriors center Chris Hunter said. "It looked like the invisible man tipped it away at the last second."
this info is coming from Urban?
no offense but I will wait until it’s offical. Not saying it isn’t true but . . .

Urban backpedaled in his twitter feed.
My Anderson source is reliable but not an MD. Story is A’s are legitimately scared he’s done for the year, not that he IS done. #athletics about 1 hour ago via web
So, while it is possible that Anderson is done for the season, all Urban is really reporting is that the A’s are afraid that Anderson may be done for the season. It’s rather misleading that CSN keeps labeling Urban’s stories as “exclusives.”
thanks
they are looking for ratings.

Has anyone ever left a game with elbow tightness and not had surgery?
My guess immediately after he left yesterday’s game was that he was done for the year.
This is depressing, especially being that they just signed him long term.
So now what? Do the A’s go looking for another pitcher or see if they can hang in there with what they have?
My guess is that they’ll add another 4 or 5 type pitcher for a minor prospect and see what happens.
Probably the most depressing thing about this is that if Anderson has surgery he may not be ready until the ASB NEXT year.
this injury is going to fucking break me on an emotional level
Anderson is the most exciting pitcher IMHO since Dave Stewart and I honestly thought he would dominate the entire league.
BASBALL GODS- GIVE US A FUCKING BREAK!!

Good lord.
What did we ever do to deserve such terrible luck with injuries. Is it actually luck, after all? The medical staff needs to be completely turned over. This constant crap is going to put me on my company’s DL for the foreseeable future. I’m just too depressed to work.
Regardless of whether or not he misses the whole year, he’s probably done for at least a few months. God, the drop-off from Sheets-Anderson-Duke-Braden-Gio to Sheets-Braden-Gio-Cahill-Mazzaro is pretty big.
There’s no doubt that the team could use another quality arm that can step-in immediately. But I fear that this organization is not deep enough to really pull off a trade using any prospects that are a) expendable or b) valuable enough to attract the attention of other organization’s that are ready and willing to ship-off a decent starter.
Cardenas is a decent prospect but is having a down year, which means his stock his down and has yet to really figure out AAA pitching. He also may be the A’s best long-term hope at 3rd, although he has oddly not played there for awhile in Sacramento. H-Rod is still an intriguing arm, but no one is going to give up a ton of value for him unless he consistently shows improved command over a long-period of time.
We got nothing really in AA…Capra and Figueroa are decent but not all that great. Ditto in Stockton. Hell, most of our most intriguing prospects can’t even be traded yet because they were drafted last year (Stassi, Krol, Green).
It doesn’t look very hopeful right now for the 2010 A’s, IMHO. Even if the team were to swing a decent deal for a decent starter – like salary relief and a C prospect – that wouldn’t leave much room for any type of offensive upgrade, and it seems obvious that Taylor and Carter are not ready to boost the big league lineup.
I’m clearly fairly depressed at this moment. Can anyone cheer me up?
I'm never gonna do it without the fez on!

Chronic resignation
This is just becoming a necessary hazard of being an A’s fan. We annually cannot catch a break (unless you count Dye’s leg). Every year the injuries mount and leave us struggling to compete. Taj just popped up while I was typing this…no, there is no way to cheer any of us up at this point, but it is just what we need to come to terms with: every year the magin of error with our team is so small due to lack of dominant talent that any injury is going to hamstring us (pun intended). Most teams have the depth of talent to absorb it, we don’t. Collectively sigh and see what we can do with the latest challenge. It’s all we got folks. Be optimistic and hope Billy can shuffle things around, and someone will step up and fill ANderson’s very very large shoes.

Tyson and Vin are not the answer
I really, really do not want to see Ross or Mazzaro in the starting role. While I love Ross and his makeup, he is not ready. Mazzaro is the pitching equivalent to Clark Kent: he is not fooling anyone. That leaves the proverbial “Who can we go get?”

Says he is playing tonight,
but they will probably remove him from the lineup right before first pitch cuz he coughed too hard and hurt his intercostal muscle….
Sad but totally expected if true
Now don’t fuck around. Get surgery. No rehab. Just get er done and come back when healthy.
Well we still have 4 decent starters
and a decent (though recently over worked) bull pen.
After Anderson went out, everyone thought the game was over, and lo and behold, we some how pulled it out.
The AL west still stinks. We can still take it.
Outman – he could come back. Devine – he could come back.
I’m not ready to give up. My expectations were low for this year. I am not ready to trade away prospects for this years team yet either. I don’t see this team, even at full strength, making it far into the playoffs.
Just hang in there people. Not yet time to panic.
"Every year someone will win the World Series. Other things are more, shall we say, unusual." - EN
I agree
I say, don’t panic for this year either. No one in the division is very good and no one seems to be poised to run away with it. I don’t want to see the A’s trade away anyone that can help us in the next couple of years for this year that will probably see who ever it is that wins the west get bounced in the first round.
We need to just enjoy this year as it plays out. Anything good that happens this year is just a bonus tacked on to the next 3-4 years where we should expect more from this team.
But thats just me :)

That’s a pretty boring life for you Ms. Shoes. Hmm… let’s see the metaphor pans out.

Wow… I think I may have pulled it off without even being dirty so far. So the A’s need someone who really loves them and will do everything they can to work out all the kinks that the daily grind of playing can cause. Hmm… on the border, but still clean. Go me!

But Vin messed up Mazzaro World!
because he changed the pronunciation of his name, so now it doesn’t rhyme with “bizarro.” I don’t like saying mah-ZAIR-ro. It bothers me.
Sorry. I’ll stop now.
Wait, really?
It’s mah-ZAIR-ro? Not mah-ZAHR-ro? That ruins everything.
Also, I get the feeling I’m the last person to know that.

I don’t like it. Vin, if everyone in the world is saying your last name wrong, tell them right away! Don’t give us a season of mah-ZAHR-ro and then change it to mah-ZAIR-ro [or muh-ZAIR-oh, thanks pam] a year later!
This bothers me so much more than it should.

I'm expecting the worst
a rotation of Braden/Gio/Cahill/Jennings/Tomko post trade deadline.
so i’ll be pleasantly surprised in Aug/Sept.
I'd rather have Outman than Jennings or Tomko
but sounds like Outman is a ways away from coming back.
why?
did they let him see a member of our training staff?
I'm more concerned about Powell.
Besides, calling Demel up would require opening up a 40-man slot.

We're just lucky he's not still on the 25 man roster.
They’ll probably just keep him listed on it, even after his contract is finished.
SIG SPACE AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP. INQUIRE WITHIN.
I already voiced my displeaure yesterday
that if the A’s send down Powell today I would be angry. Well, I’m angry. Good job Oakland!
The reason the A's don't DFA Fox or Patterson
is because any given player on the 25-man roster can drop any day of the week. The A’s need depth.
Fox and Patterson both suck.
It would be a complete non-issue if they need to replace a player of their caliber.

If only we had Ty Wiggington
If you are going to play every position really average except C and CF, you might as well OPS over 900 while doing it.
Its pretty retarded we havent asked for this guy yet. He’d slot in well in LF and plays more positions than Rosales.
