The A’s are stuck in bizzaro world. Watching players leave who they should sign; signing players they shouldn’t. Sorry, Coco.

..and with the Crisp signing,asOak4ever said-he’s not even good at that.

The “expectations” for this year is 100-120 losses. SO under 100 isn’t much “exceeding”

And Beane is still in hiding huh? cowardly and greedy.

I’m sure Sue Slusser called this a fantastic, momentous, signing over at the shill SF Gate. What a disgrace of a pack of beat sports writers.
Oak4ever says what every body says..let young Ty walk,sign old brittle Coco. How does Beane even call himself GM when he’s more the A’s banker and accountant?

Could have kept Willingham for nearly the same amount, perhaps Beane wanted the Type A pick. Though Crisp has a glass arm, his range is fantastic, I’m glad he’ll (albeit expensive) be a veteran mentor for all the young outfielders

It’s a bit of Billy being schizo again isnt it?..to give away all stars then give journeymen Coco the near star treatment like he was homegrown. It’s like when Beane said he was rebuilding…then traded Gonzales and Street for Matt Holliday..then schizo Billy let him walk when the season was over and had nothing to show for him,. Or Ben Sheets or Duch..huge contracts for players with congenital defects-that Beane had been told about. I was stumped at his thinking then. But I’m just plain genius, not Moneyball genius heh Joe?
