the important thing is they got a player that won't have to spend 5 years improving in the minors. The A's really don't care too much about pop. If they can get three or four guys capable of 25 hrs a year, it's a huge plus, but that's about the best to expect. That's just Billy Ball. Before I get racked for that, that could also mean Bill James.
