A's injurry report from Spring Training

A few days ago the A's  lost Scott Sizemore, their starting third basemen, for the year with  a torn anterior cruciate ligament. This is a big blow to the A's who were counting on him to provide some power from the right hand side of the plate.Now that leaves 2 key positions open.They are first base and third base.Contenders for the first base job are Daric Barton,Brandon Allen and Kila Ka'aihue.I think that Brandon Allen will win the first base job.Contenders for the third base job are Josh Donaldson,former catcher,Wes Timmons,Adam Rosales and Eric Sogard.Josh Donaldson seems to be the front runner now to replace Sizemore.

mannyball comes to Oakland

Just yesterday the A's  picked up Manny Ramirez a 39 year old DH who has been suspended 50 games for taking Steroids. The A's took a flyer on signing him because they don't know what he will do after he comes back from his suspension.The A's hope that he can be a mentor to their young players and provide a spark in their line-up.I think that this is a bad signing  because they don't know what he will do after he gets back from the suspension

new life to the A's

A few days ago the A's just picked up a guy from Cuba named yoenis cespedes who will add power to the line-up.One bad thing about this signing is that it might force Coco Crisp to move to either left or right field which he does not want to do.This   is their best pick-up of  the offseason and it will make them win more games.  will have a lot of pressure.I think this is a big pick-up for the A'S and I hope it will make them respectable in the coming years.

changing the subject

In this blog entry I will be talking about the Super Bowl.The Super bowl featured the Giants and the Patriots going at it in the Super Bowl for the 2nd time in four years with the Giants coming out victorious again.They were led by star quarterback Eli Manning who played at his best.The giants made another fourth quarter comeback in the Super Bowl.With this victory the Giants denied Tom Brady of being considered the greatest quarterback in NFL History with the title still held by San Francisco's own Joe Montana.Some of the commercials were good like the m-n-m commercial. Madonna  and other star singers were good in their halftime show performance.Overall I thought It was a good Super Bowl and I"m happy  for my cousin Sydney.

off-season deals con

Some more off-season deals include Prince Fielder going to the Tigers to hit behind Miguel Cabrera and form probably the top 3-4 hitting duo in the Major League.Jose Reyes got moved to the Marlins to bolster their team.The Diamondbacks bolstered their already good rotation by adding Trevor Cahil in a trade with the A's. The A's have gone around getting guys to add to their roster. Contrary to my earlier predictions the A's defensive line-up will be 2= Suzuki,3= Allen,4=weeks,6= Pennington,5= Sizemore,7=reddick,8=crisp,9=smith and Gomes will split time and pitcher will be McCarthy.The Giants hope to return to their 2010 form with the addition of two guys off of free agency.The Giants line-up will be 1= Lincecum,2= Posey,3=Huff(who will have to prove himself to keep position.4=Sanchez,5=Sandoval,6=Crawford,7=?,8=Pagan,9=Schierholtz.
