The trade was made for this yr... and on those terms kenny lost this trade.
Long term...That f***ing geek foulke is leaving the A's after this year, and William Koch is here for two more years with a chance to regain his 2002 form. In addition to that we could have just added a front of the rotation starter who is a lefty. Unless Joe Valentine pans out to be pretty good... I think Kenny still come out the victor of the koch deal.
all depends if we lost in the playoff b/c of a lack of a closer.
cotts is good and i like him, but that comp pick could be a hell of a player.
alright LDF.....
Then give props to KW for getting Alomar and Everett, and Colon.
Because at the end of the year...if they sign elsewhere... we get those 1st rnd picks as well.
