What should be just natural baseball talk since time began..is-with the A’s like dusting the house right before the tornado hits. Once the season starts the fun of lineups..will be long forgotten.
Blame Beane-he created this worthless lineup.

@Joe
Regarding having 2 RF’s in my order, I’m all for having a softball-like 4-man outfield and 3 IF’ers! LOL j/k

Something like this then:
I’d go with this:
1 Weeks, 2B
2 Cowgill, RF
3 Crisp, CF
4 Allen, LF
5 Sizemore, 3B
6 Reddick, RF
7 Carter, DH
8 Suzuki, C
9 Pennington, SS

To hear Melvin this morning..scary. It’s on Penningtons shoulders? WHAT shoulders?-lol. Fanfest adding the 1972 A’s?. Ironic the first ever great A’s team-later all given away and leading to a decade of stinker A’s teams.
And -through Melvin- Beane’s NEW story is the A’s WILL be in San Jose in three years..so he HAD to trade all stars in their early 20′s to prepare for that? Does that make any sense to you? Kiss of Ty,spend for Coco the brittle?.
I think Beane man could use a good shrink..something wrong with that man. Cheap,when he should spend-but wants to be admired. Bad combo that doesn’t work does it Slick?
If I’m wrong -tell me where…

Hi Joe,
I think they’ll still sign a couple of guys for LF and DH.
Since you want only current players, here goes
1. Weeks 2B
2. Reddick RF
3. Crisp CF
4. Kila DH
5. Sizemore 3B
6. Allen 1B
7. Suzuki C
8. Taylor LF
9. Pennington

@bbower08 – Because Barton had a messed up shoulder all last year. I’m hoping he is more like 2010 Barton.

Who gives a crap. The A’s mgmt doesn’t want to win. I will NOT attend one single game next year. I’m done with them. Go GIANTS.

Cowgill’s shown huge OBP potential in the minors. Plus he’s got speed. If Cowgill makes the starting roster, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him hit second.

1. Weeks 2B
2. Cowgill LF
3. Crisp CF
4. Allen 1B
5. Sizemore 3B
6. Reddick RF
7. Carter DH
8. Suzuki C
9. Pennington SS
