As to relievers Geren/Young have been guilty of overusing thier “favorites”.
Theirs seems to be the mentality of use the one that is hot til he is run onto the DL.
Calero publicly stated “I can throw my stuff eaery other day for 3 outs per outing.
Geren corrupted that the first weak.
Duke, Cassilla, Street, Devine, …you pay the price if you are one of Geren’s favorites. LOL

The DL bug that has infected the A’s again this year is troubling. Since we are supposedly in a rebuilding mode, according to Billy Beane, maybe we should go with the “kiddie corps” and try to move Foulke and Embree who have given up frustrating game-losing dingers of late. When we get Joey Devine back and if Santiago Casilla can find the strike zone consistently, do we need them?

I love watching these kids play their hearts out, and be successful. It’s a joy, and reminds us all about what made professional baseball our national pastime: the love of the game, not the big salaries and egos.

A kid like Bankston must look at the A’s hitters and think “I can do that!”
…and so far he can.
The Wally Pips on the A’s roster should take careful notice, …Jesus Guzman is beating on the door also, …and Cahil Express keeps chugging along, …8-inning beauty! …maybe they should cut Cahill’s innings back to 5 per in case he makes the A’s this year and extends his season way beyond the lighter innings/games he is used to pitching! LOL
