Now let's offer them PK for Zito.

If only Billy Beane didn't resign Scott Hatteberg to that nice contract in the offseason huh. They'll be in the market for a second baseman and third baseman no doubt, they'll prob try to sign Aaron Boone now. ;)

Wow.  He'll probably be out until the all star break, what with the rehab assignment after at least three or four weeks.  The elite third basemen in the American League are now MIA.  No more Glaus, Mueller, Chavez, etc.  That leaves PAY ROD.  Oh yeah, and Mora has been starting at 3B.

Only 2 or 3 more injuries and....

You get hit on the hand by a 95 MPH fastball, and good things will not happen.

 

This could be the beginning of the end for the A's this year.

A's are the Twins/Cubs of ALW.

 

They'll find a way to win it - without Giambi, without Tejada, without Justice, without Hernandez, without Isringhausen, without Foulke.

 

As long as they have Hudson-Mulder-Zito-Harden-Redman, they will be in almost every game. Kotsay has been unstoppable lately. Chavez, Hattenberd, Durazo, Dye, Byrnes can all hit. They play good defense as a team and don't run themselves out of innings with stupid small-ball (as opposed to the smart small-ball as practiced by Marlins).

 

Billie Beane still needs a BIG bat (just as Twins badly needed a Shane Stewart infusion last year) at the all-star break so the A's can get on their patented 2nd half move.....and his team will be more than good enough to win ALW even without a strong bullpen.

 

Unless of course Garret Anderson comes back completely healthy and Vlad's back holds for the entire season (unlikely), in which case Angels will challenge them. Texas are pretenders and will finish below the Mariners.

I think Joe Torre would rather bring Mike Caruso back and stick him at the hot corner rather than allowing Crede to embarrass himself and all Sox fans in Houston this July!!! :lol:

i dont think hatteberg was the problem. The guy is awesome in the ways Billy's looking for. His OBP is good and he's got awesome discipline at the plate. He's a good player. I think the real problem is the middle infield... crosby will be good but right now he's their version of joe crede...
