Gli A's firmano Gabe Gross

Chissà questa volta cosa ci avrà visto BB ,perchè tagliare Buck per fare posto ad un esterno con poco più di 600 di OPS e 350 di slugger... :fischia:
Devo intuire che quest'anno per battere le extrabasi puntiamo su Cust (in evidente calo di prestazioni...sembra che gli altri team abbiano incominciato a capire come devono giocarlo :penso:) o su Fox  :penso:

Ormai il rafforzamento presumo sia concluso o quasi ,quindi si può andare ad una prima valutazione di massima...

Partenti : Discreti ...anche se molto in divenire con tanti punti interrogativi , con Sheet e Duke in salute buono ...viceversa molto giovane e appena passabile
Bullpen : Buono ....molto buono con Devine in salute
Catching : Buono ...speriamo Suzuki non abbia problemi ,se no il buio
Interni : Mediocre tendente allo scarso
Esterni : Buono difensivamente...e poco più
DH : Comico ...Cust ,il meglio dei due, ad Arlington batterebbe settimo o ottavo

Mi sembra chiaro che si parta con l'obiettivo di centrare le 70 W ....lottiamo per prendere i migliori draft fra due anni .
Di lotta sulla division neanche parlarne , Seattle ha una squadra da almeno 10 W in più

Deluso ,mi sembra siamo diventati KC o Pittsburg

Un altro esterno arriva da Cincinnati : Willy Taveras (reduce da una annata disastrosa ,ma con un discreto valore offensivo e un ottimo valore difensivo) e Rosales (altro potenziale backup di terza con buona potenza e niente più...un rapporto BB/K abbastanza deprimente e comunque medie offensive non da terza base attuale)
Sugli esterni c'è la fila....forse ci risparmiamo le apparizioni di Eric Patterson  :carezza: che può così fare altri cinque dovuti anni a Sacramento.

Venduto Aaron Miles....almeno uno  :naughty: e liberati Dana Eveland ( :penso: un altro anno glielo si poteva dare...abbiamo avuto molta più ingiustificata pazienza con Gallagher...che ha dimostrato molto meno di Eveland ) e Gregorio Petit (a questo punto ci vuole un backup di Pennington...a meno che non si pensi di utilizzare Kouz,ma mi parrebbe cervelloticp )

Ero venuto in questo topic per i tagli di Cust e di Chavez :gazza:

What the heck are the Oakland Athletics doing?

Jack Cust(notes) wants to know. Eric Chavez(notes) wants to know. Doggone it, I want to know, too.

General manager Billy Beane (far right), seems bent on his team hitting as few home runs as possible this season. He cut Cust from the 25-man roster on Saturday and apparently handed the full-time designated hitter job to Chavez.

Cust, though his performance declined the past two seasons, has led the team in homers each year since 2007. He's averaged 28 deeps in that span, accounting for nearly 20 percent of the team's 431 homers.

Chavez, who used to be one of the A's best players, is coming off multiple back and shoulder surgeries and has made it healthy through the season just once in the past six years.

Cust says he might accept a minor-league assignment from the A's, who would pay him $2.65 million if he does. Cust, who hit .216 with 20 strikeouts in 51 at-bats this spring, is being used as insurance for Chavez. And he's not too happy about it.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

"I think it's messed up," Cust said in a phone interview with The Chronicle after leaving the stadium. "They're going to go on 50 at-bats after three years of what I've done here? It's ridiculous. A lot of other guys have had bad springs. This is a joke.

"The fact is, this team has no power and they've just released a guy who (averaged 28 homers) the last three years. That's amazing."

The moves took Chavez by surprise, too, in part because he found out from a reporter.

Also in question: Can Chavez handle the everyday DH role? It is something that not only did he not anticipate, he had not been informed about it until he spoke to The Chronicle on Saturday evening.

"I had no idea," Chavez said, surprise evident in his voice. "I didn't even know. Nobody's talked to me. I was definitely preparing myself to play in the field, so it is weird. Plus, I never would have tried to play short and third and stuff if I'd known."

Um, who is running Moneyball Manor, here, Mr. Beane? Is it Mr. Bean (far right)?

These moves are the GM's prerogative, of course. It's his club to mess with how he pleases. But, aside from a lack of objectivity, Cust has a point or two about the A's needing power from someone, or two. And cutting a veteran guy based on spring training, with its small sample of at-bats, seems very un-Beane-like.

Also, what's with surprising Chavez (wearing cap) like this? Is Beane purposely not communicating with his players in order to strengthen the script for "Moneyball" — the on-again, off-again movie about his unique tenure with the A's? Is this how Brad Pitt would do things?

Nobody will be allowed to leave the theater during Jack Cust's dramatic designating-of-assignment!

Remember last August, when the A's cut Jason Giambi(notes) and then trashed him in the press release? They really need some new blood in the human relations department.

We'll give the last word to Cust, because he's so darned quotable.

"I've busted my butt for them for three years, and I played sporadically this spring and they leave it until the day before the regular season to do this, like they didn't know what was going on before?" Cust said. "And with Coco [Crisp] on the DL — I'm not good enough to be one of the 25 guys?"

You tell 'em, Custard Jack!

Beh, difensivamente secondo Fangraphs è stato ottimo (8.3 UZR, 14.1 UZR/150). Offensivamente ha fatto cagare in effetti (48 OPS+, OBP oscena per uno usato da leadoff) :D

Sulla rinuncia a Cust mi interrogo anche io.
Era l'unico o quasi in grado di buttarla fuori con una certa regolarità.
Forse Beane vuole provare nuove strategie o forse Carter è destinato a fare il DH, boh.

Buona partenza , significa poco ,ma non so chi avrebbe scommesso che dopo 9 partite ci saremmo trovati con 6 vinte.
In più vincendone ben 4 su cinque con Seattle....
Io comunque continuo a prendere Texas ,che mi sembra una spanna sopra le altre

Bene nonostante la lista infortunati :
- Due lanciatori partenti
- Due fra i migliori rilievi
- Il Catcher titolare
- Il seconda base titolare
- l'esterno sinistro titolare

Penso che fare meglio di così sia impossibile

Così ....anche ieri notte, un inning fuori controllo ...grande slam di Guerrero e sofferenza fino alla fine.
Duke è stato tolto dalla DL , ma è sotto cortisone e non so quanto potrà rendere.
Boh ? non capisco tutti sti infotuni ,diamo 3 DL alla seconda in MLB
Lì per adesso vinciamo con distacco :D
