I’ll post some periodic updates on Carter and the A’s prospects who are playing in the Arizona Fall League. Thanks for the note!

Thank you Joe for reporting on our A’s. I enjoy reading your columns and seeing you on csn.
Will you be providing us with updates on Chris Carter’s progress in the Venezuelan Summer League?

Though being DFA’ed wasn’t a complete surprise to Redmond… the Indians had already told him their plans to promote a younger catcher toward the end of the season… it had to hurt coming so soon after that play, which made ESPN and all the papers in both cities.

And a more subtle — but terrific — play that happened late in the season was Pennington’s behind-the-back tag and throw to first for a double play. … Coco had a couple of great catches at the fence. There was no shortage of “Plays of the Year” candidates.

Another highlight was the rare 9-3 putout (Ryan Sweeney to Daric Barton, at the expense of Indians catcher Mike Redmond) on Friday July 2. Supposedly this was the sixth 9-3 putout in the AL since 1950.

We should try and get that left fielder from the Rockies, Car Gon. Oh yeah, we already screwed that up. I hope the don’t trade Taylor after his disappointing year in Sac. They need to show some patience with there young bats

Thanks Joe,
The A’S ended on a good note and finished at 500, and ahead of the Angels.
I agree with you about Cahill. Our MVP. Hey if we can get a couple of big hitters to go along with the great pitching staff and our speed demons(davis, crisp,pennington)we could really be good. Maybe Carter with a full year is one of those guys, but I think you have to spend money and get a proven guy.( not an easy thing for the A’S).
Also I feel like we must keep Ellis.For obvious reasons. April will be here before we know it.
