December 9, 201411 yr plenty of time left...but we need a catcher, 2b and 3b as well as an upgrade in left field... if we want to contend..
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:48 AM) Latest is either 6 or 7 years. Is not looking at the highest AAV or total dollars but where he feels most comfortable (supposedly). But the places where he feels most comfortable just happen to be the highest bidders
December 9, 201411 yr Nightingale appears to be the most pro Samardzija and Sox talking contract than everyone else I've heard. I like hearing that cause he's got as close of an ear to our front office as any member of the media.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:55 PM) Nightengale said comiskey lol From his days as a beat reporter. Or at least I think that was one of his original jobs.
December 9, 201411 yr @susanslusser: Big-league source tells Chronicle: #Athletics to get RHP Chris Bassitt from #WhiteSox as well as infielder Marcus Semien (as expected).

December 9, 201411 yr While that's disappointing to lose Bassitt, as I was a real fan of The Hound, it's still a better much alternative than losing Danish and Trey.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:57 PM) @susanslusser: Big-league source tells Chronicle: #Athletics to get RHP Chris Bassitt from #WhiteSox as well as infielder Marcus Semien (as expected). I support that. Would have preferred Beck being the pitcher over Bassitt, mainly because I think Bassitt can be a good reliever. Again...two guys, none of which are top 100 guys, a few months after the so called genius GM traded a top 10 prospect for Shark.
December 9, 201411 yr @susanslusser: Big-league source tells Chronicle: #Athletics to get RHP Chris Bassitt from #WhiteSox as well as infielder Marcus Semien (as expected). So it's just Bassitt + Semien? That's better than Semien, Trayce and Beck!

Wow, I was really looking forward to Bassitt in the pen eventually, but if this is the entire deal then I love it!

That deal makes more sense. Bassitt is aqulity mlb ready player. It hurts but still a good deal. I really like bassitt's potential.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:54 AM) Ah crap...totally forgot about Hawk....someone go check on him Don't worry, Hawk sleeps with his ipad.
December 9, 201411 yr Bassitt's fine. Decent arm, but not going to complain. Third guy? I'll go Andre Wheeler since nobody has said him.
December 9, 201411 yr @susanslusser: A third player also likely to be in that deal for Samardzija, source tells the Chronicle. So Bassitt, Semien, third player to #Athletics.
December 9, 201411 yr I like Bassitt, but I'm ok with this. Especially over Danish. Acquiring Samardzjia while keeping Danish, Montas and Anderson is a good deal.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:59 AM) So it's just Bassitt + Semien? That's better than Semien, Trayce and Beck! Not really, Bassitt has more value than both Thompson and Beck

December 9, 201411 yr Bassit, huh... He's got the potential to be another young under the radar rotation guy for Oakland but really think he'll end up in the pen. I was looking forward to seeing him in 2015 for us. That said, I ain't mad at all. Think Danish has way more promise and projects far better.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:00 AM) Bassitt's fine. Decent arm, but not going to complain. Third guy? I'll go Andre Wheeler since nobody has said him. Semien, Danish, and Bassitt?? That would make my heart hurt.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:01 AM) Not really, Bassitt has more value than both Thompson and Beck Yes. He already has shown promise at the mlb level.
