It’s Time For Baseball To Take A Stand Against Alcohol
Posted on 12 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
On June 8th, Arizona Diamondbacks announcer and former Chicago Cubs great Mark Grace became the latest member of the baseball community to be arrested and charged with DUI. Over the past year, this has become an all too familiar situation for the league. This year alone, Miguel Cabrera, Derek Lowe, Coco Crisp, Shin-Soo Choo, Austin Kearns and Adam Kennedy have been arrested for driving unde...

The A’s Are Running Out Of Time
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
It’s not time to panic quite yet… but it’s almost time to panic. The Oakland A’s are six games under .500 and are seven games behind the first place Texas Rangers. Now, that might not seem as dire if the A’s weren’t sitting dead last in the American League West chasing three teams instead of one. But that’s the reality of the situation and as currently constructed, this A’s rost...

Internal Options for the A’s on Offense
Posted on 17 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
On Monday we got some late night heroics as the A’s came from behind to win in extra innings in the first of two against the Angels. A win like that against a division rival can really provide a spark for a team, but it doesn’t take away from the Oakland’s primary issue; the A’s offense is pretty awful. You know it, I know it, the A’s know it. As a team, Oakland has a slash line of .2...

PxP Analysis Part III: The 2011 Oakland A’s 2nd Basemen
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Patrick Ryan.
**UPDATE** I wrote this article November 5th, 2010, so excuse the references toward certain events as “recent” when they are in fact not-so-recent (as in a month and a half before the posting date here at PSB). Juan Uribe has since signed with the Dodgers and Bill Hall is now an Astro. But read on. Those are far from key points here. **Original Post** The Starter Billy Beane ...

Harden Returns, Willingham Acquired
Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Patrick Ryan.
One day after the A's ended their disappointing streak on the open market with the additions of Hideki Matsui and Brandon McCarthy, Billy Beane added a familiar face to the Oakland roster. Rich Harden agreed to a 1-year, $1.5 million deal. The very next day, Beane acquired OF Josh Willingham from the Washington Nationals in exchange for RP Henry Rodriguez and minor-league OF Corey Brown. Th...

A’s Send Mazzaro to KC for DeJesus, Ink Top Dominican Prospect
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Patrick Ryan.
Like many had predicted, the A's dealt the most expendable of their young arms on Wednesday as they sent Vin Mazzaro to Kansas City, along with 2009 third-rounder Justin Marks, in exchange for long time Royals OF David DeJesus. While the departure of Mazzaro was certainly foreseeable, David DeJesus seemed to be garnering more interest from the Red Sox than the A's – at least in public. ...

KC heads home after taking series
Posted on 9 Apr 2009 by Joe Coburn.
So the Royals scored 6 runs. In 3 games. And managed to win 2 of em'. Following an impressive performance by Zack Greinke, Kyle Davies goes out and pitches 7 strong. The bullpen held it, and KC passes it's 1st divisional test. In what turned out to be a pitching duel, between Davies and John Danks, the Royals showed you a little gumption. A great catch by Dejesus in left. 3 games in ...
