The A's '09 Starting First Baseman Will Be...
The arbitration deadline has passed, and there were a few interesting A's-related developments: a.) The team declined to offer arbitration to Frank Thomas and Alan Embree. b.) The Diamondbacks and Phillies decided against offering Adam Dunn and Pat Burrell arbitration. Although both players...
Will Nick Johnson Be Dealt? PLUS -- Washington Nationals' Fans, What Are You Thankful For?
The last week of November...With the GM Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada under two weeks away, from December 8th-11th, and very little in the way of player movement thus far this offseason, things should start to pick up fairly soon...MLB.com's Bill Ladson got the DC trade talk started up again today...
Was Picking Up Frank Thomas a Mistake?
I know, I know, people hate it when there is premature speculation (isn't there a pill for that these days?). But I'm wondering if the A's might've made a mistake in picking up Frank Thomas. The reason? I'm thinking that Mike Sweeney is just a better hitter right now and Thomas' presence has put...
Emil Brown Is God; A's Win 2-1 in 10 Innings
The A's win against the O's tonight 2-1 in the bottom of the 10th inning on Emil Brown's RBI single to center field. The game went to the 10th inning on a blown save from Huston Street after a brilliantly pitched game by A's starter Dana Eveland. So on a night when two MLB Davids faced off...
Frank Thomas Hit a TRIPLE! Oh and the A's Also Win Big
For all the close games the A's and Angels have played over the last few years, tonight was the rare exception. The A's blasted the hated Angels 14-2 with Emil Brown and Daric Barton leading the way with home runs and three RBIs a piece. Frank Thomas also was a home run short of the cycle. Chad...
A's Lose 5-4; Barton Goes Yard
The A's are now 0-2 against the hated Halos this spring. Today was courtesy of Alan Embree who was the gasoline on the Angels comeback fire today. It's interesting that Foulke didn't get in the game today. I didn't hear that there was anything wrong on the web cast, but I might have missed it...
Open Game Thread: Game 145 - A's at Seattle
The A's and new first baseman Daric Barton take on the Seattle Mariners, who have adequately returned the thrashing the A's gave them in 2006. Seattle has won 10 against the A's and only lost three in 2007. But the game is secondary tonight. Ever since the A's traded Mark Mulder for Dan Haren,...
Daric Barton's time is now... or not?
[EDITOR'S NOTE: I was actually going to advocate for something similar to this in my post today. In particular, I really want to see Suzuki and Barton get some experience with the A's right now. I think it can only help the team both now AND in the future to get these guys some experience. In...
