I don’t follow baseball as closely as I used to, but the graphic that NESN just threw up for the current A’s defense shocked me. What an anonymous 9 dudes this is. Before this series, I don’t know if I could have named any of them.

I'm actually serious - his recent numbers don't scream he's a must-have FA or anything, so I was wondering if they thought they ID'd something that might be tweaked for better results or something like that.
Man, they've moved a lot of questionable players on and off the roster this year. Seems like more than in any year.

Look all over baseball for the great players Oakland has developed and let go b/c they couldn't pay them. It's pitiful.

Tony Kemp, on the Astros in 2018, highlight getting gunned down in the ALCS trying for a double by Mookie. Brown would be the other recognizable one for me.

At the end of the season I hope someone compiles a supercut of all the failed As bunts for this year.
