With the awkward plate collision yesterday that left Alberto Callaspo with a forearm contrusion, it appears the A's may need another backup infielder. Hence this:

Or, there is also this explanation:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Adam Rosales: Double Agent sent to Texas by Billy. Returns with needed info to secure division.</p>— Omar G (@omar01) <a href="https://twitter.com/omar01/statuses/365542541124321280">August 8, 2013</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In any case, begin the speculation! The most logical move is Callaspo, but Jerry Blevins has also been struggling. There is another LHP option who could potentially work out:

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Somewhere, Nathaniel Stoltz is giddy about the latter move.
