It is not gonna be anyone that helps us on the major league level.

There really is not a list. There are a few rumblings of who might be non-tendered but that is it. Rotoworld will basically have it right away when they are non-tendererd. Whoever it may be.

Exactly.

In my opinion he would not be a bad person to look at. Something is wrong with this. The amount is still way too low.

Damn does that suck.

Point is it does not really mean grilli is much better because he got the run suppport and diaz didn't.

Because i take it they do not want to have to face him.

Stupidity?

I only saw that page of the thread so i was like wtf. I have been busy as hell today and barely had time for soxtalk.

Why is quality starts getting really old?

Diaz would be able to keeo his era under 5.50 over the course of the year.

He won't be traded for a year or two, until one of the a's catching prospects are ready.

Rowand has just as good of an arm as dye if not better.

He will be out the first month or so, maybe more.

Now he is, he cleared waivers.

I added it up three times and got the same thing each time.

Also, in the first half his home era was 3.21. The same exact era as his overall era in the first half.

Hopefully this will end the trade for ben sheet stalk.

The a's have not gotten out of the first round in three of the last four years and did not make it last year. They were one game out like you said. Why should they be so optimistic that they would have gotten any farther than in years past? Keith ginter? I also think it is weird that he traded mulder since there is really no need to this year so that is why i think zito might also be moved. Not very likely though in my opinion.

He has a team option for 2006.

Pretty silly that you would call some of us a's fans. Should we just neglect the fact that they have one of the best systems in baseball and are stacked for years to come? They knew they were not gonna win it all next year ( have not the last four years) so they figuresd they would cash in as well as they could. I can see people saying well prospects are just prospects and they are no guarantee. But i think it is a different story for beane, he produces players from the minors like no other. In my opinion the athletics will be in the playoffs in 2006.

So hang onto them and get nothing for them at all? I really don't understand why they got rid of mulder since he has another year left on his contract.
