Bah Humbug to you Dayton Moore

Yeah I have to imagine if he held onto him he could have gotten more at the deadline to a team desperate for an OF at that point.

The only good thing Moore has done is built up the farm. That's very important but he's been terrible at everything else.

and even worse.this basically guarantees Francouer to KC....fml

The Athletics acquired David DeJesus from the Royals for Vin Mazzaro and Class-A pitcher Justin Marks.

A below average pitcher and uhh.....a non factor. Good job GMDM, who is continuing to make it harder to praise him despite the phenomenal farm.

What does this do for Beane? Costs him 6 million dollars for one year of an OF who is going to help them not make the playoffs again. He does just enough to not get fired.

That's it? You don't think he is just constantly making trades and getting nowhere?

He's offering competitive deals to free agents (see last season) and doing his best to improve the team, but it's just not working all that well. But Beane has proven himself to be damn good in the past, so I have faith in him to turn it around soon enough.

What free agents are you referring to. He just screwed up Matt Holliday so royally bad.

I know he offered Beltre a better deal than the one he got from the Red Sox.

I'm hearing the A's are likely to sign Dominican amateur Vicmal De la Cruz.

Is Cliff Lee to the Yankees a gimme?
I saw earlier that Lee and Sabathia are best friends and their wives are friends as well and they went house shopping together during the trade deadline when they thought he was going to NY then.
I'd really like to see him stay in Texas and see if the Rangers can get it done next year

[Giantsfan1080]

The A's should have a really good pitching staff next year if they can just get some bats they'd be on the rise again.

Rumors are the Cardinals are trying to work out a trade for Stephen Drew.
