If you guys really want offense pluck off on me. Only Strasburg and Stanton I don't want to deal, but Jones/HanRam/Panda would have to be for a hell of a return investment.

PP, you must really really like Dan Haren.

Thinking I'll get the old Dan Haren back. Plus I might try to use him to package into a different deal. And I wasn't gonna end up keeping Reddick or Jackson and at worst I have myself a keeper pitcher. FULL REBUILD MODE MAN. As much as I like Jackson, it has to be done.

Yeah Haren will get better, it's just that Reddick kid just keeps hitting homers lol.

Eh he had 10 in May which really skews his number. A very big outlier, considering he had 3 in both April and June in a close amount of ABs. Plus like I said, keeper pitcher > 2 hitters on a last place team that I'm not gonna keep.

Yeah you're right. HRs hypnotized me is all.

Reddick is shocking me because he was nothing like this on the Red Sox.

Having a bitch of a time looking at my keepers. At the moment my only sure ones are...

Hitters: Miggy
Pitchers: Marcum/Fister or maybe Lohse. Willing to accept my pitching ain't great. Or maybe even Lohse if he keeps it up.

I feel like I have a bunch of hitters around the same level of talent or so.

I'm not sure of his home/away HR, but if he's hit around half of them in Oakland, that power has to be for real right? That place is enormous.

Checked it. 9 at home and 8 away. He's not even that big of a guy. Not saying he's slight either now. 6'2" 180. Too bad most of the other A's can't get on base since he only has 38 RBI.

Brye

Yeah Oakland is probably the least hitter friendly park I can think of.

Really doubtful he hits 17-18 in the second half, but 3-4 HR a month ain't bad the rest of the way.
