Either could go in my mind or both if Pomerantz is coming back to the rotation Billie just find a shortstop so Lowry can play second base please and thank you

 

[bronconation24]

Shortstop or 2nd base for milone/pomeranz.

trading hammel would be ideal, but not a big mkt for a 1/2 yr rental...

tommy has a bunch of years of team control and part of the reason he cant be too happy with oak is that this yr basically is a wasted yr for service time...so yea, we'd get more

if chase didnt such a huge contract, hed be a realistic target. grew up in socal, offseason home in the bay...

2 years/$27M (2014-15), plus 2016-18 options
signed extension with Philadelphia 8/8/13
14:$15M, 15:$10M, 16-18:$15M vesting options ($2M buyout for 2016)
2015 salary increases by $5M to $15M with 15 days or less on disabled list with knee injury in 2014
options guaranteed with 500 plate appearance in previous season
if option does not vest, it becomes a club option valued between $5M and $11M, based on days spent on the disabled list in previous season

I'd rather see how many actually show up to the games

Does any squad really report actual gate numbers?

No way. Mariners report 10k attendances when I know damn well I was part of a 5k crowd at most

I don't believe so

 

[grusumm18]

Jim
Gas can
Johnson

I'm sure most oak fans here have been to announced 13's that feel like 6...for quite some time too

Not as much in the past few years but I swear I've been to games that felt like hundreds not thousands

I believe it. I actually went to the game JD had the walk off homerun against Detroit, and the number the announced seemed off by a few thousand

@Athletics: #Athletics recall Evan Scribner from Sacramento and designate Jim Johnson for assignment.

Exclusive: Talking Top Prospects with A’s Special Assistant Grady Fuson

over before it ever started


from @thatsanerror (scorer for the ports)

Michael Ynoa was just removed in the middle of an at bat. After the pitch was fouled off Ynoa was clearly really angry behind the mound.

Players went out and then quickly out came Ryan Christenson. Signaled for the trainer to come out & quickly signaled to bring in new pitcher

Not sure why/what the injury is that had Michael Ynoa removed in middle of an at bat tonight but feel bad for the guy. Has to feel cursed.
