Wowsers. Hope Choice gets some significant playing time in Arlington.

According to @JeffPassan the A's have traded Michael Choice TX for Craig Gentry; Choice better bat &power potential. Gentry better FLD & Arm

Another good acquisition for Texas. Bostick is a promising prospect.

Wow. Interesting move.

I've been proven wrong many times when question Beane, going all the way back to the Pena-Lilly deal, but man, I can't see this one working out at all.

And I really don't like the Johnson deal either. Not that I mind what they gave up, just don't believe in JJ and would definitely prefer to keep Balfour than have either Johnson or Kazmir...

I think I would have rather paid the extra $$$$ to sign bartolo at 2 year $15 million a year than kazmir at 2 years $11 million a year. Colon is proven and kazmir has been up & down. Hopefully it all works out.

me too, I was hoping to see him play in Oakland this upcoming year, sucks as I can care less about Gentry

There have been several puzzling trades already.Surprised Kazmir gets $11M a year too.

If you can care less than that means you really do care about Gentry!

I am wondering how choice fell out of favor in Oakland so quickly. Wonder if Beane sees the issue with his bat (here comes the haters!) he keeps his arms away from his body and is susceptible to inside pitches and change ups.

and now the A's are discussing trading Cespedes?? WTF!

with Beane it's less about falling out of favor and more about the upside of the people he brings in

As much as Balfour and Colon were staples of last years team, I really think Beane is making the right move. Both will cost more than they will produce next year if Colon even was going to play which was doubtful to begin with.

The Choice trade got me though and has me scratching my head a bit. Didn't see that coming, but hey I thought Colon was a terrible idea too so I've learned to stop judging and kick back and enjoy the ride
