Rob Picciolo & his versatility makes him a close pick to Crosby, while Armas was still one year away from his power surge, giving Sweeney & his .290ish avg the current pick. Hopefully the ’09 A’s show as much improvement as the ’80 A’s.

Billy Martin lit a fire under his players. Martin’s players were overachievers. The current batch of A’s are underachievers. Geren makes excuses for his players, and they play down to his low expectations.

What to you mean by the lower end of the tank? Are they running out of gas knowing the run support isn’t there or do they lack the talent to be in the majors? Also, just saw Houston Street blow a save and lead against the Blue Jays. When we do get a lead, we can’t keep it.
