Dude I was going to start this thread last night but I was a little buzzed.
 As far as the poll hell I don't know- all of the above? We'll be fine although I worry about Moreno going Daniel Snyder on us trying to buy a winner. We'll see although I do hope we continue to focus on the development and acquisition of young talent. It's what we do. |

The A's need to lock up Swisher and Street to long term deals. To keep these two great young players is an essential part of their future.

the only reason they're trying to sign them, like they did with Crosby, Harden, Haren, etc, is because the A's want to avoid their arbitration years.

If it is at all possible, the A's need to re-sign Zito. He proved to be the real deal after Hudson and Mulder were traded.
The rumor of Sheffield going to the A's was a farce. After all, during the '02 offseason, the A's supposedly were interested in Sheffield to replace Giambi. |

no real news right now...we may have a manager soon. I just want Zito to sign and for that to be all over with once and for all. I really hope he signs in the NL.

3 years $30 mil for Thomas? Toronto can have him...as much as I wanted him to get #500 with the A's, I wouldn't pay that much. And I don't think we'd pay to sign Bonds either...nor would I want him.
