I know, it's crazy. They've been citing his .421 OBP since JUNE 22!!

I'm assuming he's finally got it all figured out.

I wouldn't be crazy about sitting down any of our guys for Cosart, he has done nothing to earn that.

Ceiling. Ceiling. A nice arm.

[Camden_yardbird]

What would you give up for Price and Zobrist right now?

[EagleOriole]

Cossart Ceiling

Still some upside on this arm.

5.5 K / IP ... not sure why he is an upgrade to anything we already have.

[FlipCup]

Anyone know if Mark Reynolds is available?

....Wait for it.... :rofl:

[EagleOriole]

Beane better win a World Series. If not he just traded Cespedes for Gomes and Tommy Milone for Sam Fuld. Yuck.

[Redskins Rick]

At any given moment a lot of (insert sports team name here)'s fans seem to be trashing (that team's GM) no matter what.

True, but let's look at Beane's top 2 mistakes and they are colossal.

1) Trading for Johnson

2) Trading for Hamel

Most A's fans are not wanting two month rental of Lester either.

False News: Orioles pick up Luke Scott

5.5 K / IP ... not sure why he is an upgrade to anything we already have.

I believe he can improve.

arred Cosart has been something of an enigma through his first two major league seasons.

With nearly 10 inches of vertical drop, Cosart has one of the most dramatic breaking balls in the MLB, yet it gets no swings and misses.

Last year, as a rookie, Cosart miraculously posted a 1.95 ERA despite owning the highest walk rate in baseball to go along with one of the worst strikeout rates.

This year, despite throwing a really hard fastball and hanging more curves than just about anyone, Cosart has one of the best home run rates in baseball.

Thus, his hanging-est curve results in just a mere opposite field single, because Jarred Cosart is an enigma.

I really think that there is something here.

It's why I hate 2 month rentals.. if you don't win it all right now (highly unlikely for any team) you have yourself in a huge hole.

Breaking News: Orioles pick up Luke Scott off of trash heap

Deliberately false info or calling former players trash will exclude a poster from this afternoon's festivities.

Fine by me, rather spend our resources elsewhere.

I am not interested in an enigma. I am married, I have enough enigmas in my life. If you acquire Cosart who will you remove from the rotation? What does it take to get him? EdRod + what?

[Tx Oriole]

Anyone else hate the A's?

No not at all.
