2014 Offseason

If they trade other pieces in the next couple of weeks, then you will have your answer. If Shark. Moss, Crisp, or Reddick are traded then I don't see them competing in 2015.

We will see. This deal shocked me

I agree and think Beane is working toward competing 2-3 years from now

They will compete. Billy beane always finds a way

Their pitching will keep them competitive.

 

[Hambombs]

Any possible way we trade for shark? Lol

Guzman was detained for his own safety I was reading on LSB. Apparently the cops were worried the family member of the dead motorcyclist would try to retaliate. Crazy ass place.

Absolutely, not sure wtf anyone would want to return there. Move your family to the states

They have to get their pitching healthy first. I think they still have a couple members of their rotation trying to return from major injuries

Yup

Right and Lester's a FA. Doesn't make sense. That SS they got is only 18.

@susanslusser: Josh Reddick says it's clear to him and other #Athletics players that team is now in rebuilding mode.

Doubtful. His FA walk year is coming next year I believe and he will almost certainly test FA. I wouldn't give up much for him, if I was JD

I hope they continue to miss the boat on all their moves, doubtful but one can hope right?

They won't have Lester and if they trade Shark they won't have the depth they did last year. Parker and Griffin are both coming off TJS and will not be dependable. So they have Gray, Kazmir, Chavez and who else to start if they trade Shark?

[RevSader]

That's not very overwhelming...

 

[Bmurph]

Think the Blue Jays figured Melky would be gone as well

Donaldson will get to play on cement and be irrelevant. Makes me so damn happy.

But we still have to deal with the clutch sogard

He'll be playing in a really kick ass city tho.

Is Hammel still there, or is he a FA? Pomeranz and Lindblom I guess is their depth if you can call it that
