chw42 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 That's all it took? DeJesus would do wonders for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Excellent move for the A's. An already stellar defense gets better. Just don't be like the Mariners and forget scoring runs is a part of winning baseball games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 so who are they going to trade to make room for him in the outfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hmm... didn't Mazzaro shut us down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) Hmm... didn't Mazzaro shut us down? He's only had two starts against the Sox, but he's done quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The A's just sent Vin Mazzaro and Justin Marks over to the Royals for David Dejesus. As a Sox fan, you've got to love getting his bat out of the division. We always get spanked by Oakland anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Billy Beane must be going out of his way to avoid traditional power bats at this point. Dejesus is good, but the A's have a dozen semi-comparable players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I thought I read somewhere that he wasn't that good defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I thought I read somewhere that he wasn't that good defensively. He's had some very good years, some ok years, and some iffy years, depending on how healthy he is and where he gets moved around to. In general, if you buy Fangraphs, if you put him at a position and keep him there the whole year, he'll be somewhat above average. That includes CF, although the last time he spent a lot of time in CF was a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's good defensively, he would have looked very good in the Sox outfield next year though. He doesn't have a lot of power, but I like his avg. I wonder if KW tried to make a play for him. KW is probably working behind the scenes trying to acquire Matt Kemp now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better suited to DH. Unless you were referring to Rios or Teahen, in which case you could make that argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
