Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) Thanks for that, I would have never thought of him ever again if you had not posted that LOL. Sorry... yea, he was pretty awful. But at least he netted the Sox a decent utility IFer in Alex Cintron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the nicest guys you will ever come in contact with. I hope it is the beginning of big things for him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I think they are spending money just to spend it at this point. I can't imagine anyone was willing to go close to that number besides Detroit.

iamshack Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 A's acquired Willingham, per MLB trade rumors for Henry Rodriguez (who's got a hell of an arm) and OF Corey Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you meant the old Henry Rodriguez, the one who hit lots of homers and was sponsored by "O Henry" Bars, haha. Blast to the past. But the Rodriguez you refer to has one live arm.

Holy s***. Great move for both teams. The A's are a Beltre signing away from legitimately competing in that division. Of course, I can't blame them if they refuse to go 5 years. 3 years tops with a club option is the most I'd go.

They've got an excellent staff and have really upgraded their lineup with DeJesus, Matsui and Willingham. Rodriguez has an electric arm but they've got a bevy of quality relief pitchers and then you've got our very own DLS waiting in the wings.

Braden only because of the perfect game (his grandma is annoying as f***) and mound-gate with pay-rod. Treveor Cahill is pretty unknown to the casual fan.

pktmotion Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wow Billy Beane is absolutely enamored with OBP. Between DeJesus/Barton/Willingham they should have an overall OBP pushing 400! OBP is great, but when you're relying on Matsui as your main power source. I'm afraid all that hard work has gone to waste. If they only had a legit slugging threat... Regardless Im always happy to see Oakland do well, their teams/players are always fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
