I think he was outta line with that but what are you gonna do? To an extent, he is right. They do have better players in Colorado. Giambi is playing like he is 50, Cabrera couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, Holliday is a complete bust. If it were up to me, I’d can everyone but Bailey, Outman, Mazzaro, Braden, Breslow, Cust, Kennedy, Zook and Sweeney. We are terrible this year and I believe it’s the straw that broke Wolf’s back…he WILL move this team out of Oakland. This was a last ditch effort to see if the Oakland community would support an A’s team with some resemblence of star power.

Carlos is showing his ego and his lack of maturity. I was not impressed with him after his initial spash with the A’s, and he looked awful in the spring training game against the Rockies I attended. I talked to the Rockies scout who was very closed mouthed about Carlos. (For my account of sitting with the A’s brass and the MLB scouts, check out the article entitled “Speed Guns,Testosterone and a Snafu” on my blog at http://contractyear.mlblogs.com. It was surreal.

Big talk from a guy (Carlos Gonzalez) who has yet to prove he can hit MLB pitching. He got traded because he was a flop, and the A’s were able to acquire him in 2007 because his first team (Arizona) gave up on him as well. When the guy proves he’s a legitimate MLB ballplayer, then his words might mean something….
