Its funny when writers get the facts wrong
No, the best middle infield in baseball is, like the Yankees’ duo, a homegrown pair, drafted and developed by their current team.

Ellis was not drafted by Oakland if i remember correctly.

We traded for Ellis

I think he came from the Royals…Mark Ellis and Johnny Damon for Ben Grieve

If i remember correctly

C'mon Beane! Close off the bottom deck and reopen the top!

Ah it was a 3 team trade.

A’s gave up Grieve, Angel Berroa, and AJ Hinch. A’s got Ellis, Damon, and Lidle, holy cow what a steal.

Ellis needs a Gold Glove

That’s awesome. Ellis needs to win the Gold Glove this year. He has deserved it before and not received it. Let’s win the division and go from there.

I agree

I’m not sure what more the guy could do. Hopefully with all the talk this year about the A’s, Ellis will finally get his due respect.
