My dad says there are rumors that we've been in talks with some guy named "Miguel Tejada"' ever since Sizemore went down.
I'm so down.

Why would we bring back Tejada? He's not going to contribute

Great Storylines:
C- Kurt "The big Hurt" Suzuki put on 20 lbs of muscle this off-season, goes on to hit 25+ bombs
1B- Chris Carter breaks out of his "bust" title and hits 30+ bombs
2B- Jemile Weeks continues where he left of last season, hitting .300+ and swiping 40+ bags
SS- Cliff Pennington plays great defense, but also hits marginally above .275
3B-Over-the-hill Miguel Tejada provides a solid defensive option at 3rd, while returning to his roots in Oakland and putting up a respectable .240 BA
OF1- Coco Crisp does what he do, but don't get injured, and make his granmama proud by stealin 70 bags
OF2- Yoenis "The Cuban Missle" Cespedes has a monster year, with splits of .320/.394/.462 while leading the surging A's offense deep into the regular season...
OF3-Someone named Seth Smith or Reddick or Cowgill or Gomes or someone else plays solid right field and hits above .260
DH Manny Ramirez, fresh off a 1.5 year suspension, hits 17 homers in his 100 games he plays, and doesn't make a complete fool of the orginization
Man, I'm convincing myself just typing that all out.

Sizemore
, we should've kept Chavez.. but Miguel Tejada rumors? C'mon..
Brandon McCarthy opening day starter, with Bartolo Colon in the 2 spot. Source.
Anyone copping MLB The Show 12 this year?
The Future:
I wonder if he's gonna change his number since his jersey looks blank here?

My projected lineup:
2B Weeks
CF Crisp
LF Cespedes
DH Carter
C Suzuki
1B B. Allen (I dont care how inconsistent he is I HATE Daric Barton)
RF Redick
3B Donaldson
SS Pennington
SP McCarthy
SP Colon
SP Ross
SP Parker
SP Peacock/Milone
Replace whoever is doing the worst with Dallas Braden when he can go.

If Cespedes proves that his arm cannot be ignored, then I expect Melvin to move him into CF. To hell with Coco and his two year deal.

Anyone think Carter is going to actually figure it out? This has got to be his LAST chance.

We didn't get rid of Devine, right? He should be our closer.
