Official Oakland A's Offseason Thread

[LakersA's49ers]

Heard Cincinatti wants a leadoff hitting outfielder(coco) and are also willing to deal Zack Cozart. Another interesting option

[LakersA's49ers]

I personally would rather just resign Drew, but damn Scott Boras is his agent

[Stash]

Have no clue but the Asstros need bodies. I can't imagine the package being great since Lowrie is often injured.

When Lowrie was healthy he was one of the better shortstops last season. He won't be cheap regardless of his health concerns.

It feels good to be back from my one week suspension.

What did you do to get suspended?

[Kings Analyst]

Jed Lowrie is available.

Nothing would satisfy me more than seeing a bunch of ex-Redsox players succeed in Oakland.

I wouldn't mind taking Lowrie if the A's have a chance at him. Right now my list would be for shortstops.

1. Asdrubal Cabrera
2. Stephen Drew
3. Yunel Escobar
4. Jed Lowrie

That would be a great deal for the A's IMO. They dont really need crisp now that they got Young.

An outfield that has Cespedes, Reddick, and Young would still be extremely solid. Plus having Cozart would also be nice. I would like that trade alot

[SamBay]

Astrubel Cabrera or Zack Cozart would be great. That'd be a pretty solid lineup.

[Raidersfan93]

I like Cozart, plus glove and some decent pop. I would like him, but I feel like Crisp for him straight up would be an overpay. Maybe Crisp for Cozart and maybe a mid tier prospect with some upside like Amir Garrett, he has some upside.

Man it's late I'm going to bed. I read that as Zack Crocket?

[agureghian]

.246 .288 .399 in the great american ballpark?

what is that going to be in oakland? .190/.250/.350?

[defjersol]

What about getting a prospect at SS? Rosales and Hicks could battle it out in spring.

[defjersol]

Also have Grant Green learning 2B. Thoughts?

A full year of Rosales or Hicks at short stop?

Disgusting

A's Trade Ross

Seems like a decent trade, parrino can play some short and we all know that Beane is one of the best at finding undervalued pitchers. I know many will be happy to see Ross gone, but I kind of liked him and thought he might have a decent chance to be a good rp. Jones had some pop, got on base a lot, but he is 24 just finishing single A in an offensive league. We will have to see how it turns out.

Thank god Ross is history!
