Giants Get Swept Out of San Diego; SF On 5 Game Losing Streak
Posted on 28 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
The rough patch for the San Francisco Giants continues as they lose their fifth straight game. The San Diego Padres defeated the defending World Champs earlier today 6-4 completing a three game sweep at Petco Park. The Giants now fall to 13-12 on the year as the Padres improve to 9-15. The Padres hit 3 home runs off of Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong for a total of 5 runs. The long balls started ...

A’s Off-Season Trades: Where Are They Now?
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
Coming into the season, I had planned on doing frequent minor league updates. I figured that everyone would be interested in the top prospects because the A’s are clearly rebuilding and aren’t expected to do much at the major league level. Quite frankly, I thought it would be a refreshing change of pace to the redundant drab of a bottom-dwelling ball club. Thankfully, I’ve been wrong so f...

Cespedes vs. Darvish and Other Spring Goodies
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
Cespedes Signs: Yoenis Cespedes arrived in Phoenix on Saturday and after passing his physical, the 4-year $36 million contact he agreed to with the Oakland Athletics became official. Finally. I’m always anxious about contract negotiations or trades until they are finalized because it always seems to good to be true when the A’s get any player of value. It’s a good day for A’s fans, who ...

What to Watch for This Spring
Posted on 8 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, the Super Bowl is finally over which means we can all focus our attention now on a real sport. It’s less than two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training and I, for one, can’t wait. I’m not sure how optimistic I can really get this year about my team’s performance specifically, but I can never hide my excitement around this time of year. IT’S BASEBALL! What ...

A’s Top 15 Prospects
Posted on 24 Jan 2012 by Josh Muller.
When the 2011 season ended, the Oakland A’s found themselves in a dangerous place. They’re major league talent was clearly behind that of their competition and their minor league talent was even more so. The farm system lacked depth and upside to sustain the A’s and they were forced to (shocker) rebuild. But after trading away three all-star pitchers, they have managed to do just that. Th...

Revisiting the Cahill Trade and the Gio Market is About to Heat Up
Posted on 16 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, the Oakland A’s traded all-star pitcher Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks for prospects. My initial reaction was that it was fair for both sides and I maintain that stance. I am confused about the timing, though. The talk of the town has been about Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey (which I’ll get to later) and then Billy Beane does the unexpected and trade...

A’s Trade Cahill To The Diamondbacks
Posted on 9 Dec 2011 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have agreed to send pitchers Trevor Cahill and Craig Breslow to the Arizona Diamondbacks for three prospects in Jarrod Parker, Collin Cowgil and Ryan Cook. There has been a lot of trade talk surrounding certain all-star pitchers for the A’s, primarily lefty starter Gio Gonzalez and closer Andrew Bailey, as I wrote a couple of days ago. But in vintage Billy Beane style he qui...

What Will Billy Beane Do at the Deadline?
Posted on 25 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
The baseball trade deadline is rapidly approaching, Ladies and Gentlemen and it’s time to see what types of moves the A’s might make. Earlier in the year hopes were high that this article would be discussing trade possibilities for the A’s to add the right pieces. Clearly Oakland is not in position to solidify their playoff push, as it looks like they will be sellers…again… Realis...

A’s Can’t Catch a Break: Brett Anderson gets Tommy John Surgery
Posted on 15 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
I swear I'm not trying to exclusively write negative posts, and yet: The A’s announced Thursday that Brett Anderson received Tommy John Reconstructive Elbow Surgery to repair his throwing arm, making him officially unavailable for the rest of the season. When it rains, it pours. The good news, if you can call it good news, about this whole scenario is that Tommy John surgery has become such a...

Angels do the splits against the A’s
Posted on 27 May 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I was wrong, the Angels had the scouting report on Trevor Cahill. Facing him for the first time this season, I was surprised–joking. Cahill is one of the AL's top pitchers, but the Angels went back to back on him in the 7th inning to beat the rising righty. Torii Hunter and Alberto Callaspo did the damage to Cahill. Ervin Santana should start every game against the A's. He has won 13 game...

Trevor Cahill Continues His Dominance.
Posted on 10 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A's routed division rivals, the Texas Rangers, Monday night in the first of a three game series in Arlington, 7-2. Willingham led the way for the offense with a three run bomb and five RBIs. The A's tacked on two more totaling seven runs on the day, a refreshing surprise, and more than enough run support for Trevor Cahill. Cahill pitched another seven strong innings of one run ball ...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Trevor Cahill and the Oakland Athletics on Paper
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The A's seem to be everyone's “sleeper” team this upcoming season, and rightfully so. The foursome of Trevor Cahill, Brett Anderson, Gio Gonzalez and Dallas Braden is the most underrated in baseball. To go along with a strong bullpen, the pitching aspect is set. The big story is the offense. Will they be able to score enough runs to win games? INFIELD C Kurt Suzuki: 7.5 1B Da...
