vs. ATHLETICS, 5/07 DH Gm.1

Kim or Reimold might be that guy.

Not sure how you can put Fowler on Dan, dude took less money and years to sign somewhere else.

I would have loved Heyward but no way ownership would have made that happen.

It's amazing to me that people still just look right past Kim as if he's not even on the team. The only thing that keeps Reimold as a 4th OF for me is that it's important to keep him healthy. Kim very well may be our quality

outfielder and I still maintain he will have the job the first chance he is given to earn it. People are still content just leaving him as an unknown and making all these other moves without even finding out whether Kim is

capable of filling the role. It's astounding to me.

Dexter Fowler on a one year deal would look pretty good right now.

How about the 3y 34M (or whatever it was) that we tried to back him off of because of the draft pick and physical?

[eddie83]

The only good thing about this game so far is all the yard work I have gotten done.

The sun is out at my house now, almost fainted.

[JayThomas]

He waited until the last minute to fill a spot. Risky move. In general corner OF has been an issue since he has been here.

He waited until the last minute to fill the CO spot because the owner tied his hands behind his back with an over-the-top, bid-against-yourself offer to a 1B that sat on the table for a long long time. There wasn't budget to pull the trigger on a big CO as long as that open offer was still out there.

[scOtt]

Sets up the force at 3 bases...

Whoa Bundy!

[JayThomas]

No put away pitch for Wright today. Tons of foul balls.Not good enough.

Right ... Wright not missing many bats.

Blame the team if you feel that way. The organization is the one that said he wasn't going to make the team. They leaked stuff to the press about him going back to Korea.

[scOtt]

Alright. We REALLY need to maybe score here. Like soon.

DD has been here 5 years and we have had a revolving door at the corner spots. McLouth filled the role for 1.5 years and after Markakis left that is another hole.

[Campmoon]

This offense is so one dimensional but still it's hard to believe this team has scored 1 or fewer runs in 7 out of the last 11 games.

A lot of folks have a great deal of trust in Buck. For some of them, Buck apparently deciding that Kim wasn't a nugget after a few weeks of ST was good enough for them.

[scOtt]

That was pretty.

[isestrex]

Btw, the A's suck on defense... especially the IF

I'm kinda guilty. In Buck I Trust.

I do blame the team for that, but the fans keep hanging their hat on Buck's opinion of him which Kim proves more every time he gets in the game to be very likely the wrong opinion.
