December 23, 200322 yr I dont think the offseason aquisitions mean anything. Farm system > NY Yankees Thats what got us to the championship and won it...and thats whats gonna give us another pitcher in the bullpen. Vlad is coming...cause we still have some more creative financing to do.
December 23, 200322 yr back onto the subject though.....we did sign Lowell & Castillo along with having a solid rotation signed. I think the Marlins did alot better than what the rankings show. Even though it doesn't mean anything.
December 23, 200322 yr Our top 4 are better then your top 4 or even your top 4 of the 2003 season. That is ridiculous.
December 23, 200322 yr Thanks Marlins!!! I hope to contribute and have a good time here... Cubs starting rotation is integral, but I think they have been making a serious mistake in not signing a legitimate catcher. Young pitching staff needs a leader like the Marlins had...
December 23, 200322 yr Financial reality kicks in. At least they re-signed Mike Lowell, as they lobby for a new park Wow, they even had to throw that venomous comment at the end... Ah who cares what these a**holes think? Just remember, these are the same people who did not give the Marlins a thought until they won the World Series... So to them... SHUSH! :thumbdown
December 23, 200322 yr I guess ESPN doesn't see Benitez as a major addition. Funny how the A's are ranked as having a better off-seson than the Marlins. They lost Tejada, Foulke, Guillen, Lilly, Ramone Hernandez and Terrance Long.....and added Kotsay, Redman, Kielty, Rhodes
December 23, 200322 yr Shouldn't we be #1 just because we did not totally dismantle the team? Encarnacion, Redman, ALMANZA! Oh no! 1998! 1998!
December 23, 200322 yr Author Shouldn't we be #1 just because we did not totally dismantle the team? Encarnacion, Redman, ALMANZA! Oh no! 1998! 1998! Like i said theyre idiots
December 23, 200322 yr Our top 4 are better then your top 4 or even your top 4 of the 2003 season. That is ridiculous. What does this have to do with the topic of thread?
December 23, 200322 yr zambrano and clement suck sorry Here we are, having an intelligent conversation, and then this moronic comment. Go back to bed.

Screw ESPN. Since when have they ever got anything right or anywhere near ESP...?
December 23, 200322 yr the A's didnt lose Redman Yeah, they played a fast one on us. Non-tendered Big Red and then signed him the next day.
December 23, 200322 yr yeah, i just saw that...good for them. They dont have an offense I am afraid - and it seems Beane is trying to copy us - acquiring Kotsay. I think he is shifting more towards pitching and defense with speed and less K's on offense. Call me crazy, and you all will, but I think Beinfest and Co. have set up a new template.

Kotsay won't steal much next year. The A's have always been based around good pitching, solid defense and offense based around getting runners on and hitting the ball hard.
