That's pretty much where I'm at too. I'm not sure if I care either way at this point but I do think Beane is gonna blow it up. If he was gonna trade Cespedes this off season like he said, no matter what, that means now others are going instead.

The Neshek comments a few days ago really left a bad taste in my mouth too.

Wow, he's a good guy too.

It's about the trade and chemistry. And this, , “At the end of the season last year, I was on the plane and they said, ‘We don’t need you for the playoffs, and we don’t need you to stick around, either.’*"

I feel like he wanted to be a lot more negative but still feels he "owes" them for his resurgence.

Really a telling article, such a good guy too. Tough reading that.

Thanks for sharing Mab.

Man, gotta suck for A's fans. I think that if Beane is going to blow everything up you might as well start from a totally clean slate and throw Beane out too but that might be throwing the bay out with the bath water.

Hopefully next season won't be too bad for you guys.

You know Beane's a part-owner of the A's, right?

That's good on you Dr Jones, I don't expect people to know that. If I remember right it's 2.5%.

What?

Beane has nothing to do with wanting to restart anything.

Its about the current contracts and roster status of players. We all knew this was an all in year because of what's coming up with expiring contracts.
