Decent pickups for the A's IMO.

Zobrist is very versatile. I still think Escobar is kind of a punk from his days with the Braves.

They'll love Zobrist out in Oakland. Can really play anywhere except catcher. Switch hitter with some pop and an even better guy off the field than he is on the field. Had a chance to meet him a couple of times. He will be missed big time in Tampa.
