The A's actually have some offense now... weird. SSS, I know. (LA Times)
The A's are batting .308 with 98 hits and 46 runs scored in just nine games since the All-Star break after hitting just .205 with 43 runs in their last 18 games before it.
"It's one thing we've been seeing lately (and) it's fun," said starter Gio Gonzalez, who took the loss Sunday despite the offense putting up 15 hits. "We're showing life."
The hot bats, at least to some degree, have translated into wins for an A's team that has scratched its way out of the AL West basement. (They are one game ahead of last-place Seattle, which has lost a team-record 15 in a row.)
No one has been traded, but the Pirates have been interested in Willingham and Breslow, the Reds might be takers for Crisp (also the Indians), the Red Sox kicked the tires on Rich Harden (NO BLOOMS).
And um, yeah...
Why me world! : (about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
Ports center fielder Michael Choice reached base twice Sunday evening to extend his streak to 44 games, but he left the contest after injuring his left leg in a 7-6 loss to the Bakersfield Blaze before 2,290 at Stockton Ballpark.
"I know (Choice) won't be playing the next couple of days, but I don't know the extent of the injury," Ports manager Webster Garrison said. "It's a big loss, but we're going to have to have some guys step up."
The trade deadline could mean more time for Ryan Sweeney. (SF Gate)
Melvin said, "I think he's a good, pure hitter. He's got a natural swing, hits the ball the other way, pulls the ball. Maybe a guy that should be given the opportunity to play every day, but based on the three guys that we have here right now, he gets the short end of the stick as far as starts go."
Kei Igawa is still plugging away in the Yankees minor league system. A great read. (NY Times)
The five-year saga is a story of a giant mistake of a contract and an overmatched pitcher, a huge organization digging in and a quiet, somewhat mysterious Japanese pitcher with a sense of honor and a durable love of the game. The Yankees made it pretty clear Igawa would never pitch again in the Bronx, but they were determined that he pitch somewhere for his $4-million-a-year salary. They tried to return him to Japan, too. Igawa refused to go, standing fast to his childhood dream of pitching in the American big leagues.
And so, the stalemate - remarkable, if almost entirely un-remarked upon - continues.
Igawa is occasionally recognized as a professional baseball player on the streets of New York. People think he is Hideki Matsui. Until recently, he said a common second guess was Chien-Ming Wang, the former Taiwanese Yankees pitcher. At 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, with a thick shock of black hair, Igawa has a calm but notable presence, although he says he dresses conservatively to avoid attention.
Roberto Alomar, Bert Blyleven (finally!) and Pat Gillick will head to Cooperstown. (Associated Press)
Blyleven, whose amazing curveball frustrated batters in his 22-year career, finished with 287 wins, 3,701 strikeouts, 60 shutouts and a pair of World Series rings—in 1979 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and 1987 in his second stint with the Twins.
Still, his path toward the Hall was a slow, steep one—he drew the backing of only 14.1 percent one year—but on his 14th try became the first pure starting pitcher to get selected by the BBWAA since Nolan Ryan in 1999.
Blyleven’s father, Joe, who died of Parkinson’s in 2004, fell in love with baseball and the Dodgers after the family moved to Southern California in the late 1950s and built a mound in the backyard, the genesis of his son’s Hall of Fame career.
“I wish he was here,” said Blyleven, who in the past had regretted not being selected for the Hall while his father was still alive. “But you know, mom, I know he’s up there looking down right now. Mommy, I love you.”

The A's finally have a reasonably set lineup
Which might be helping them offensively. At least, some players feel that helps them. We’ll see how trades – if any – alter the lineup Nd subsequent performance.

Sonny Gray is ready to sign according to Keith Law...
The Roto deal on the left sidebar suggests he’ll start at AA and could be promoted to the bigs when rosters expand.
Would he be THAT close to the bigs? I figured it would be 2013 before we saw him.
I don't see any way
that Gray joins the team this year. Next year, if he goes on a Strasburg-level tear of the minors, yeah toward the end of the season maybe, but other than that… I’d say 2013ish, too.
"If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented." —Stephen King
He's old.
21 is a perfectly fine age to promote a player who’s good enough. That’s why we drafted him, he had the writeup of being a quick through the minors guy.
Being ready by early 2013 would be a quick through the minors guy
Gray is advanced but he still has work on refining his mechanics to make them more repeatable and hopefully improve his control. He also didn’t have much use for a change-up in college so he’ll probably need some work on that if he’s going to be a starter.
Also, he’s not old prospect wise. If he were to be sent to AA he’d be on the young side for the league and if he started there next year he still wouldn’t be old for the league.
Not really.
He had the writeup of being a quick minors guy if he became a relief pitcher. The A’s aren’t going to do that. He’s not nearly as polished as someone like James Simmons was, out of college.
Too bad Simmons ended up being a polished turd

none of the links on any of the tweets mentioning this
go to a source that has this trade. I think it’s just still a rumor among many
The Guy who Tweeted that says he's now calling it Nonexistent
His last update.
remember George Springer? OF that many people hoped the A's could draft...
…who was chosen by the Astros.
There’s a report that Springer may sign with the Independent League Long Island Ducks. It’s probably a bargaining tactic, and the signing deadline is still fairly far away.
Defeats the object of a draft if a player can do that.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
there's nothing that can stop a draftee from doing that. it's happened before.
if he doesn’t sign by the deadline the Astros have lost out on him. I believe they get awarded a draft pick next year.
I know, but it hasn't happened during my time following the NFL.
You go to the team that drafted you (or they trade you) or you sit out the year.
That’s the way it should be.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
I know - I'm just saying the NFL has more power over it's players.
There’s no independent league for them to go to. Nor can they go back to college.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
There's the UFL. It sucks, but it's independent.
Arena Football, too.
Neither one pays much. Then again, neither do the Long Island Ducks.

I'm pretty sure they could play in Canada if they wanted to
Raghib “Rocket” Ismail did it back in ’91.
The Long Island Ducks are independent league, though.
So he pretty much is sitting out the year. It’s not like his is playing for another teams minor league team.
What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
Didn't Hochevar go that route?
"If you wrote something for which someone sent you a check, if you cashed the check and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented." —Stephen King
Not at all.
The draft is a rule of MLB. Has absolutely nothing to do with whether the player wants to play in a completely different league. That’s just free trade and honest competition.
If the MLB somehow had the power to prevent players from signing with a different league, then that really would be unfair monopolistic restraint of trade. But they don’t. They only have power over the MLB teams.

Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:— / We murder to dissect.
Entirely correct but incomplete
MLB’s overwhelming dominance of the market for baseball (in the US anyway), including its paternal relationship with the vast majority of minor league teams, means that for practical purposes a young man who wishes to make playing baseball his career has little choice but to work for MLB as his employer. That certainly has a monopolistically restraining effect, even though the young man is permitted to play for the Long Island Ducks or the Saltillo Sarape Makers. I’m sure you didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

You are correct. I did not mean to imply otherwise.
But independent leagues do exist, crappy though they may be.
I am very much in favor of promoting independent leagues against MLB. I’d love to see more fans and more players make the switch.

This reminds me of something that used to bug me.
A few years ago, there was an ad in the A’s radio broadcasts. I don’t even remembering what they were advertising, but the idea was something like, “Some things are worth waiting for: [item one], [item two] or a great restaurant … when you’re really hungry.”
That’s totally backwards. Under normal circumstances, when you’re figuring to eat some time this evening, that’s when a good restaurant is worth waiting for. But when you’re really hungry, you just want to eat something decent right now, so that’s exactly when the very nice restaurant isn’t worth waiting for.

On a not entirely unrelated note, I was recently looking for a translation for Nessun Dorma from Turnadot. There is a fair bit of confusion about the literal interpretation because of the heavily symbolic plot details. And I came across a wonderful translation complete with a discussion about nuances of language, both Italian and English, illuminating possible meanings. First time I read it, I couldn’t help but think it iglew-esque. Having looked at it a couple more times, I am almost certain now that you are the author. Am I right?

Via Jeff at Lookout Landing...
The un-trade deadline rumor mill
Buzz around the league is that the contending teams mostly desire good players like Carlos Beltran, B.J. Upton, Denard Span and Hiroki Kuroda. In exchange for these good players, the teams would be willing to part with players who are not as good, like minor leaguers and bench bats. As such, things by and large remain at a standstill, and as has been the case all season long, no one will budge.
A friend of Carlos Beltran noted that the outfielder is not worried about being traded, because he is too good. He also noted that Beltran would invoke his no-trade clause in the highly unlikely event of a deal anyway, because “all of his things are in New York.”
Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos and Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane have held several conversations, because they are friends.

This tells me that Beltran only cares about himself and his money, and doesn't love winning or the game itself.

Want to make Mondays suck less? Marmite also revealed the top five ways you can try to do that:
Watching TV
Sex
On-line shopping
Buying chocolate or make-up
Planning a holiday

Trade rumors?
mlbtraderumors reports that the Yankees and Red Sox are both interested in Breslow. They also report that the Yankees might be willing to take on a bad contract to get a lefty reliever. I’m thinking that you play the two teams off each other to get the most you can from the Sox for Breslow, then offer the Yankees Fuentes as a consolation prize and see if they take him.
how about a bad contract and a lefty reliever, in one package?
