Please people….this is A Oakland team we are talking about. ya know, cheapville USA. This Wolfe guy has ZERO intention of making our beloved boys a winner.He wants a so so team to take out of town. What do you all think? Do ya think Mr.Moneyball himself (Beane) woke up a couple years ago and lost the genius we KNOW he has? No…he is being a good corporate stooge and leaving the A’s in limbo till they move!!!!

I have loves the A’S my whole life and like most said im sick of them just being a farm team i think they need to go out and spend some money and get 2 good hitters this offseason Jason Bay comes to mind first and Vlad would be a great fit they have a very young pitching staff and with Duch coming back and Barden staying heathly i think they will have a great shot to make the playoffs with the angles losing lackey and 2 good hitters i just want them to make playoffs one more time before i die LOL BILLY BEAN SPEND THE MONEY BRO!!!!!!!

As a LONG TIME A’s fan (Rudi, Bando, Campy, etc) I have seen the A’s go from prosperity of those days to the days where they were the worst team in baseball. Then to the Bash Brothers and then to a good team but never quite good enough.

So, what I have seen is the A’s have the best farm team in MLB and it is amazing that they have done as well as they have. But, we need to develop them and keep them. What would this team look like had we kept Dye, Hudson, Mulder, Zito and gotten a DH here and there? We would have added to our number of Series titles thats what!!

I don’t know if the A’s will go after any free agnent. It would be good for the team to have a big bat in the line up, but what we as A’s fans have seen in the past is. Bad trades and bone headed moves by mangement. What i would like to see is the A’s use the farm camp to bring up guys we need. I have hard so much about Brett walles the person that will play thirdbase. As fare as the DH spot in the line up I would think Ivan Rodriguez would be a good fit

I say lets pay the big money for Matsui. #1 he’s a big bat and a great DH, #2 he would bring a lot more fans to the park, #3 when we play Seatle the place will sell out #4 could open up revenue from Japan.

Ive been an A’s fan my whole life(33yrs). Ive seen the best come and go. I believe we have a core group of young athletes on our team but we need to start spending some quality money on players that will have a career in Oakland. We have not had a consistant team since the early 2000′s. I hope this winter will bring some exciting powerful players to the A’s.

Bring Jermaine Dye back to finish his career in his native bay area. Could be another Frank Thomas type for the A’s…maybe the Giants will sign Bad Vlad or Figgins. Mr. 420 Lincecum could use some more run support…
