What I read about Wallace a good stick but a fat boy another DH for the A’s. I really can’t watch the A’s anymore the Owners have killed the game.

AsFan?

keep on dreaming!

first pull your head out of the ground and look what these goofs have been doing over and over and over before for several years now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this team is looking to get the hell out of town! and best way now at this point is make the team even worse so the attendence records get even worse and hope that giants do great so there will be no room for a’s anymore. then wolf and beane can go be heros in vegas or wherever they are thrilled he is bringing them a mlb team. just like the idiots in washington were thrilled when the cheapskate of the tribe moved the expos out of montreal away after poisoning the waters there for baseball first. washington nats – about the only team as bad or worse than the a’s because of years of purposeful destruction by the owner and gm.

beane a 10th rate garbage baseball player when he played!

but from my 15 on till now holliday was hitting at a .315 clip which just happens to be his lifetime average. yesterday for cards went 4 for 5.

i’ve seen these kind of owners before as they attempt to move a team to another city. this team is long gone and possibly to a lot farther away than you think. This quote below is Wolf spitting in A’s fans faces!

–

Peterson
“And if any of the new guys achieves a best-case scenario? We all know the answer to that one — they’ll soon be shipped off to a team willing to pay for prime-of-career talent.

Well, cheap is as cheap does. And the recall of outfielder Eric Patterson to take Holliday’s spot on the roster means that at least 14 of the 25 current A’s are at or very near the major league minimum of $400,000 per year. In that respect, this season has been a spectacular success.

But as long as the team’s top priority is to squeeze the last nickel out of every penny, even moves such as Friday’s will be met with a fundamental (and richly deserved) cynicism.”

Are we talking about the same holliday who did not hit a HR for over a month? Who made 13mill and turned into a version of jason kendall? Tell me 7-10 days ago, wouldve A’s been able to get a top 21 prospect in baseball (keith law says top 10)+ 2 other prospects, and save an additional $4.5 mill??? Which might be used to sign 2 top 20 mlb draft talents in max tassi and grant green. What Holliday does with the cardinals is irrelevant. We saw a Holliday that was the centerpiece of a disappointing 09 season. Move on and actually get a better trio than what was given up for him. Bring on more deals!

Hated to see Holliday go but everyone knew it was coming. If this kid Wallace is any good the A’s will trade him for some one to be name later in class A ball. Oakland will leave town as soon they can.

fact is in 2 years probably the only 2 recognizable names still here will be geren and chavez coming of his 17th operation. plus beane.

note- that is if oakland still has a franchise

Same ol same ol. Damn Wolff & Beane! Not that Holliday being traded was a suprise, but MORE minor leaguers! @#$%^&^&* you guys! Wolff needs to sell to somebody who WANTS to own and operate a MAJOR league team. If he wants to own a baseball team, he should buy the Rivercats, becuase thats basically what he owns right now! The AAAA league A’s.

My pleasure. Beats working!

I hate to say it, but I was in favor of trading Street at the time. Oops!

Did anyone hear on the radio today about the media guide for ASU during Wallace’s senior year? He said his favorite team is the A’s and his favorite player was Eric Chavez! Gotta love that!
