the A's have made like 10 trades this year....we suck

enter the great Brian Fricken andersen, the man who blows chunks. this year is over. Now we get to watch surfer boy and all his groupies on the board.

 

Wherever there's a struggling prospect to be commented on....

I wish DE well in recovery!

all they are saying is they heard a "pop" on his swing

Well he never had any "pop" in his bat.

 

This should've been expected, but at least the Sox have some options in the minor leagues. I couldn't imagine what would happen if Iguchi or Uribe suffered an injury this serious.

Call up Owens and either Anderson or Sweeney. DL Erstad and send Gonzalez back down.

 

Bat Owens leadoff in LF, and have Anderson or Sweeney play center and bat last.

Oz says Sweeney or Owens.

 

 

no please what about the great andersen. Please please. God he deserves a chance. He is great. Please god please ozzie bring back my Brian.Oh wait he really does suck

As much you don't want someone to get injured, it is kinda good now that Erstad will hopefully not get his 600 AB's this year, resulting in a 6 million dollar payday for him, most likely.

i feel bad for grindy. he wasn't god, as some here liked to say and/or imply, but he worked hard. hope he gets well soon. i also hope we bring up anderson and he starts hitting around .270 - .280 which i believe he can do. then when erstad is ready to come back he can play left. we might have a good outfield again then.

- Development of Danks

- Thome's chase for 500 homers

 

I was thinking of Danks and Buehrle.

Personally, I'd like to see him get the chance again. If he shows no improvement at all this year, then you move him during the offseason. I don't feel like seeing Sweeney break his bat and ground out 3 times a game right now.

 

Anderson should be brought up and be given another chance. Just a year ago, he was our future CF. True, he struggled, but if we're not going to hit, we need to have defense on the field. He did hit well in the minors, and we'll see how far he's in the doghouse as he plays CF better than anyone else who could be brought up.

you bet because they all suck. and they are all struggling.

So now the battle cry will be: wait until July when Erstad and Pods are back!

That's what most of us were already thinking

I believe most people called him getting hurt at some point. Hell, I'm surprised he lasted this long.

Oz says Sweeney or Owens.

 

Hopefully Owens. He is really the only leadoff option.

 

I would like to see Anderson or Sweeney called up to play center, because Owens really isn't a center fielder. There is no need for Gonzalez up here.

Hopefully Owens. He is really the only leadoff option.

Even if owens comes up I doubt Ozzie would put him leading off the guy has never hit major league pitching and he is still learning to steal bases. I speculate that maybe Iguchi will lead off, but what do I know. Nothign really except we have no minors worth a damn.

Disagree....Ozzie loves his slappy/speed guys at the top of the order. You know I agree with you with how pathetic our minor league system is.

I'd be okey with Owens if I knew he'd be playing everyday for the next month in the leadoff spot so he can get a chance to get comfortable and show his skills. I don't expect that to happen though as Guillen will now add CF to his platoon list. That's why I prefer Anderson who has some experience, and plays good defense.

IMO, I would just let Sweeney finish out the year.

I would LOVe BA, but I doubt that's going to happen but hopefully I'm wrong. If not, give Sweeney the chance even though he isn't ready.

Well we may not have a choice. Our outfield is easily the worst in baseball right now. We will see. Ozzie has already seen sweeney and andersen, and has not seen owens. what the heck the season is over anyway. The truck is slowly backing up.

whoever we bring up or make our leadoff hitter.. They need to be able to maintain a good obp. with speed. Iguchi has hit well at the major league level but is currently slumping. It is totally a crap shoot with any of our rookies. We need a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owens was just pulled from the knights game according to Rongey. Here we go.

Since we easily have the slowest team in the majors right now, this could be a good thing.

Worst outfield, and the worst double play combo up the middle. How does a 100 million dollar payroll team have so many holes?

Wrong.

 

We're still going to be slow as all hell. It's not like he's going to be put into the 3-7 that clogs the bases.
