It's a huge ballpark with a lot of foul territory. They may still have been doing well there if Oakland still had them. Now, lets talk about what the A's are getting. The main player is a starting pitcher who has finished 7 innings 1 time, and it doesn't count (cuz against Dodger s-h-i-t bats.) He is routinely throwing 111-120 pitches, and going out after 5 or 6 innings. His 4 wins were all at home against bad road teams(3 of which are in the NL WEST  ) The only reason the A's are making this deal is to get people they won't have to pay much for 5 years. These are their whore ways. They get young pitchers that they don't have to pay, and they let them play in a park that suits pitchers well. Commissioner should veto the trade, and tell that A's organization to "compete you filthy whores." Are you, or are you not the Chucksta who said this Andruw Jones was gunna hit 31 home runs? All while having to play half his games in the tough hitting yard called Dodger Stadium? What say you? He has 50 strike outs in less than 150 at bats. He has 2 home runs. Now you pat the A's on the back for being good at whore activity. |
You think they are going to catch Boston, or Tampa or the Angels? Why not get rid of a guy who does nothing but breakdown for a live 22 year old guy, a guy who may yet turn it around (Murton) and a couple of guys for depth? They HAVE NO CHANCE to make the playoffs. They have played far above their talent level this far and Beane knows it wont last. He has a proven track record of getting rid of players at their peak, they usually go the other way when they leave. That they dont have the finances to compete against the bigger market teams is widely known. And why cant a trade work well for both teams? Ever heard of Volquez for Hamilton? Using the A Jones example kind of makes my point for me. That teams are better off getting RID OF high priced talent and going with the young guys...you know like Tampa and Minnesota?
