Josh Reddick seems like the more likely trade bait to me if Beane is tearing it up. There is not a lot of soon to be expensive, but currently prime coveted talent on that team.

(JUNE 5th)

Quietly, the Athletics have been creeping back towards respectability.

They have won 4 straight games (including a sweep of the Tigers), 6 out of their last 7 (including taking 3 out of 4 from the Yankees), and 9 out of their last 12.

Their defense this year has been horrendous though, which is a major reason why they are still well below .500, at 23-33.

Although the Athletics continue to play reasonably good baseball, going 7-4 over their last 11 games, the hole that they dug themselves into early in the season continues to remain large.
