awkward for me.....

by Clip$ on Jan 16, 2012 12:53 PM PST

well, i just posted something about A's rotation yesterday, now its completely different, great...

im going to do this quickly now just for kicks.

Billy Beane must know that Braden si going to be ready so rotation:

1. Brandon Mccarthy

2. Bartolo colon

3. Dallas Braden

4.Tyson Ross

5. Tom Milone

And aprker and peakock at the ready in AAA.

Now, for the outfield :

the 3 starters: Seth Smith, Coco Crisp, and Josh Reddick.

At 1B, Daric barton will have every chance to reclaim his position with Carter and Allen competing for the DH spot.

If barton wins job, but fails, expect the loser in the DH spot to be called up and take Barton's spot.

Now, I believe Kila is truly insurance, like a worst case scenario, since Barton, Carter and Allen are all above him depth wise.

Tell me your thoughts pleaseeeee, i want to know what you expert people think our outfield, rotation will look like! thanks!!!

Do you like this story?

This is just a suggestion...

But you might want to just put these thoughts as comments in the front-page Smith trade story/thread.

At one point in my life I liked Dave Kingman more than Rickey Henderson. I was an idiot.

Fanposts are supposed to be more substantial than these. If you put it as a new comment, it’s perfectly likely to get replies because it indents far left and people will see it. Go ahead and paste your question as a comment in an existing thread and hopefully people will respond. That way we can delete the fanpost and free up space for other fanposts and you can get this question addressed. Does that make sense?

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

Tyson Ross and Tom Milone

Brad Peacock needs to develop his change up a little more and Parker just needs to build himself up a little, having not pitched in AAA yet

yepp

exactly what i was thinking.
And in case braden isnt ready, then id have to say to promote Godfrey and give him a chance instead of maybe stunting Peacock’s growth by sending him back down when Braden comes back.

Rather excited to see what Milone can do

Really a fascinating rotation we’ve assembled. We have two textbook “crafty lefties” in Braden and Milone. Then there’s Colon, who’s the polar opposite and throws some 80% fastballs. Ross could be the second coming of Colon as he’s a straight-shooter fastball guy as well. Then there’s McCarthy, who’s just, y’know, awesome.

I’m very much looking forward to seeing if Milone can become Braden 2.0. Seems very likely that Milone breaks camp with the big league club, though I wouldn’t be surprised if Beane goes out and finds other veteran SP.
