Condition Oakland: An Oakland Athletics Preview

A brief look at an opponent we play this weekend.
Dates we play them: 7/23-7/25 @ Oakland, 7/30-8/1 at home, 9/20-9/22 @ Oakland
Offense: A potential lineup: Coco Crisp-CF, Daric Barton-1B, Kurt Suzuki-C, Jack Cust-DH, Kevin Kouzmanoff-3B, Mark Ellis-2B, Gabe Gross-RF, Rajai Davis-LF, Cliff Pennington-SS. Bench: Adam Rosales-UTIL, Landon Powell-C.
I do find it humorous that a team called the Athletics seem to have such a problem staying healthy. On that note, I'll try not to make an easy sportswriter jokes for the rest of this article (I'd bet against me). Coco Crisp hasn't played much this season, or any season since 2007 really, but has been pretty much exactly what you remember him being. He never lived up to the promise he showed as a young centerfielder for the Indians, but one has to think injuries are the main culprit. He has very little power and doesn't walk much, but runs fast and plays excellent defense. Daric Barton was one of the pieces that came over with Dan Haren in the ill-fated (for the Cardinals) Mark Mulder trade. He hits for a lot less power than most corner infielders (think of an even weaker James Loney). He does draw a lot of walks (13.2% career BB%) and plays above-average defense. Kurt Suzuki has started to reach the point where pundits can no longer say he is quietly one of the best catchers in the game. The Zooker (no, not that Zooker) was on track to set a new career-high in homers, but a mid-season trip to the disabled list may have derailed those plans. The only negative thing I see with his numbers is an alarming decrease in OBP due to drawing fewer walks. If he can get his BB% back up to around 7-7.5, he'll be annually battling Mike Napoli for the title of best catcher in the AL West. Jack Cust is the king of the Three True Outcomes hitters. That being said, he crushes the ball. Calling him Adam Dunn-light is only semi-fair, as he out Adam Dunn's Adam Dunn. He just does it with less homers and equally atrocious defense.
The Kouz (I'm hoping he actually gets called this) will never be very much more than an average player, due mostly to his cripplingly low OBP (.307 career). He was, however, the first player to hit a grand slam on the first major league pitch they saw though. He's got some pop, though it has been missing this season. He also plays somewhat above-average defense. Mark Ellis has begun to feel like one of the constants of life to me. There will always be death and taxes, but it also seems like number 14 will always be playing the middle infield in Oakland. I will be sad when he leaves or retires. His glory days were never very glorious, but they have now fallen by the wayside. As long as he can keep playing good defense, he'll stay in the bigs. If not for his 2008 season, Gabe Gross may have been out of baseball by now. His almost league-average OBP and good defense are all that keep him afloat. Rajai Davis had a nice breakout season last year, to the tune of 3.3 WAR. This season, not so much. Turns out it can be hard to maintain a .361 BABIP. When he gets on, he can steal with the best of them. Putting him in left gives the A's a very good defensive outfield, but a very weak-hitting one. Cliff Pennington has already been worth 2.1 WAR. What? He can draw walks and steal, so having him hit ninth is kind of nice.
Pitching: A potential rotation and closer: Ben Sheets-RHP, Gio Gonzalez-LHP, Trevor Cahill-RHP, Clayton Mortenson-RHP, and Andrew Bailey-CL.
According to the current depth chart on Oakland's site, they will be using a four-man rotation. Ben Sheets is a shadow of the pitcher he used to be. This will happen when you lose velocity off your fastball and lose the feel for your curve. Unsurprisingly, his strikeouts have been down and his walks have been up. If you expected him not to be showing rust, you aren't very bright. He has a low-90s fastball, a formerly amazing curveball, a changeup, and a slider. Our old friend Gio continues to improve by the Bay. He still needs to work on cutting his BB/9 down (4.26 this season). He throws a low-90s fastball, a fantastic curve, and a changeup. Until Brett Anderson comes back from the DL, he is the only southpaw in the rotation. Trevor Cahill is the best right-handed starter the A's have. The future looks bright with him, Anderson, and Gonzalez headlining the staff. Cahill won't get the strikeouts like the other two, but should get the most groundballs. He throws a low-90s fastball, a slider, a curve, and a change. Clayton Mortenson was a part of the Matt Holliday trade from last season. I know very little about him other than his high-80s fastball, a slider, and a change. Last season's RotY, Andrew Bailey, has picked up right where he left off for the most part. He is getting less strikeouts, which could be cause for concern. He throws a mid-90s fastball, a cutter, a curve, and a change.
Outlook: Oakland is a .500 team this season. We don't play well out in McAfee usually. I'm Feeling optimistic. 5-4 record for the series.

Of lost in the lost and King Felix was Floyd “again”. Damn he’s good now. Think about where he was on June1st. Now he sports an impressive FIP of 3.19 and xFIP of 3.69
He and Danks have produced 3.4 and 3.2 WAR respectively and are on pace for 5 WAR years. Sweet. 2 Top 10 pitchers in the AL and Top 15 in baseball.
How you like that Kenwo! :-)

Sox have fared well in McAfee as of late
Winners of 2 of 3 in ’07, ’08, ’09. Could have swept in ’07 and ’09.
Theain is the guy I Just can’t stand! pierre is almost as bad,he dose get on base more. If Quntin gets any worse trade him. WE NEED HELP!
I'm glad you did the homework, because I feel just fine about the entire west coast over the last few years.
That whole stigma should be gone.

that was a great play by jones to keep the game tied.
the game is over if quentin is out there. of course that would have been less aggravating than bringing in that ugly bastard to blow the game.

Dallas Braden or Brett Anderson will pitch on sunday
Keep check on Henry Rodriguez recent reliever callup 25 of his 32 pitches vs red sox was 98-101 mph
Mazzaro is in the rotation has been good recently 2.93 era over last 8 starts. Mortensen is in AAA.
Ben Sheets has been an expensive innings eater, 3.62 era over his last 14 starts, but bad run support.
If Kenny WIlliams loves adam dunn, why not try a trade for a cheaper jack cust?
Thank you. And yes, we've discussed Cust as desirable for some time now.
Since we DON’T read his name in the rumors, we assume Kenny is at least kicking the tires.
Not sure how good the Bay area reporters are, but we’ve learned from ours that smoke does not equal fire.

Each of those guys has his/her own style of writing and mistake-making.
Too bad you took it down. And what is wrong with “wannabe black” anyway? I’ve always envied those that can dance.
As for FUBU, HSA will confirm that I used to wear a Playaz(?) shirt. I thought that was Spanish for “beach”. And then she pointed out the condom pocket, which I thought was for holding coins.

I allowed it, though it's not like I pick out his wardrobe. It wasn't a very obvious logo or anything - it was a nice blue plaid button-down shirt that read "Playaz" above the pocket.
When my sis and I asked him about it, he sincerely doe-eyed said, “I thought it was playa… like beach.”
Boy was that a knee-slapper. Especially when we drew his attention to the condom pocket, as he mentioned.
IIRC, he donated the shirt to goodwill or something soon thereafter.

BP: Five trades that need to happen
4. The Chicago White Sox acquire DH Luke Scott and 3B Miguel Tejada from the Baltimore Orioles for SS Eduardo Escobar and RHPs Lucas Harrell and Jhonny Nunez
Tied with Oakland for ninth place in the AL in team True Average, the Sox need to punch up their offense. Obvious spots that need help are third base and DH, with Mark Teahen shelved and healing slow, and the platoon of Andruw Jones and Mark Kotsay struggling to produce. Always open to a trade, Kenny Williams likes adding the occasional ex-famous person to the mix for his stretch runs — Roberto Alomar, Carl Everett, Ken Griffey Jr. — and Tejada would fit neatly within that pattern, providing the White Sox with a former MVP who might get a last lease on life at the plate while manning third base. Scott would be the more subtle addition, but his .304 TAv would provide a big dose of sock and balance. To swing the deal, the Sox would have to give the Orioles the shortstop prospect they need, and the sure-handed Escobar has elicited comparisons to Omar Vizquel for his fielding. Since Harrell and Nunez are both live arms who could help in a big league bullpen, this may seem like a lot, but Scott’s under club control through 2012, providing the Sox with a lasting answer to fill their need for a lefty power bat.
Please find Jay Cutler some help...
I like this scenario a great deal
Wasn’t Tejada a KW favorite?
Theain is the guy I Just can’t stand! pierre is almost as bad,he dose get on base more. If Quntin gets any worse trade him. WE NEED HELP!
wigginton is more versatile.

Jayson Stark on Prince Fielder, for what it's worth
• On Prince Fielder: “If you don’t make your pitch to him, he can still hit it out. But I don’t see the same adjustable swing I saw a few years ago. He used to scare me to death when he came up there. But now, you can get him out down and away or if you pound him up and in. That wasn’t always the case.”
Haren is not enough for the Tigers to win
so knock yourself out boys.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I wasn’t completely invested in the Sox until, well, a few weeks ago (Stanley Cup run + World Cup), maybe I’d’ve done the same.
i'm sure you would have.

you can go to his B-R page (game log) and click the top and bottom games you want to aggregate

aren't you the guy that threatened to hold your breath until the sox made some drastic changes?
then, jumped back on the bandwagon when the same team you couldn’t bring yourself to watch started winning? sorry, i guess i’m confused.

i actually thought the team won becuase of my strike. wow. still dont see where i called the season over.

i didn't say you said the season was over. that was larry.
you said you weren’t coming back until their were changes made. you came back when you realized the same team you were bashing was a good team.

they deserved bashing
they did change by getting their head out of their asses.

your strike certainly didnt hurt their play for those games.
I took a less-publicized hiatus for the week leading up to the Cubs series.

Ugh Sox...why are you so infuriating.
Expensive freaking tickets.
Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/travel/news/story?id=5393017
While you’re getting a handle on the seats situated farthest from home plate, you also can get an appreciation for the least-expensive tickets in the majors.
1. Braves: $1 (186 tickets available on game day only)
2. Brewers: $1 (game-day only)
3. Rockies: $4 ($1 for seniors and military)………
…29. White Sox: $20
30. Phillies: $20

by Teahenny Penny on Jul 22, 2010 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions
right, but that's averaged with the other non-dollar tickets you got
it’s misleading to say “cheapest ticket in the majors” when there’s fewer of them than luxury boxes.
Fireworks: Bang?
Still, at least you can say you have them.
The Sox don’t offer anything even close to $1. Even for 1 ticket.
Thanks alot for these ridiculous ticket prices, 2005.
by ScottyPods Ver2.0 on Jul 22, 2010 4:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Averaged how? The article isn't claiming that the Brewers have the lowest average ticket prices.
Just that they happen to have some tickets available for a dollar. Right?
Am I missing something?

Sox vs. Nazi leaders?
I think Goering would’ve been a helluva DH. Hess probably a sturdy 3B. Goebbels a grindy 2B. Speer a nifty, good D-no-hit CF.
Sox vs. the Apostles? Sox vs. Ditka? The possibilities are endless.
