AN Mailbag Still Around?

Just wondering if AN Mailbag is still around because I had some general questions that hopefully someone may address:

  1. Any chance we have a Zito sighting during the Bay Bridge Series?
  2. Any possibility we can sign Cespedes in the offseason? Or did Jerry win the internet?
  3. Are there any old players that the A's can possibly bring back? Kurt Suzuki was fun while he lasted, maybe they'll bring someone else back for fun.
  4. How is Jared Parker doing? What's the likelihood he will be back in baseball. When's Griffin returning?
  5. With Kazmir gone, who is the 2nd best pitcher after Sonny? It seems like the A's have a bunch of middle rotation guys a far cry from the quadruple "Aces" of 2014.
  6. What are the best promotional giveaway items: jerseys, shirts, bobbleheads/gnomes, or cereal bowls?
  7. What is the average length of stay in the A's organization of a first round draft pick? I can only think of Sonny that is still with the A's... Should we not fall in love with our draft picks?
  8. Is Eric Sogard really the longest tenured A's player? Who is the longest and how many more games/years does Sogard need to pass him? (Feels like Jason Thompson to the Kings...)
  9. What is the best place to go before/after an A's game nearby? Be it a bar or restaurant etc
  10. Should the A's and Astros remain permanent trade partners and simply swap places in the standings in alternate years to spite the Angels and Rangers?

I really enjoyed reading the AN mailbag in the past and hopefully someone can resurrect it again. Also if anyone cares to answer some of my random questions, much appreciated. Thanks.
