Inside the Press Box: Sheets, pillows and much more...
maury writes "Cannot blame A'S fans for their cynicism, we can only go by the track record of General Manager Billy Beane and it is very transparent. But this year the Angels are down, the Rangers and the Mariners are up and the A's? The A's have improved some and their pitching should be better. The four-team AL Western Division this 2010 is already looking "very interesting". This might be the most interesting division in the majors."

Inside the Press Box: Confession of Convenience
maury writes "Mark McGwire comes out clean, he used steroids!
Wow, was Hitler a Nazi?Is Fidel Castro a communist?
Can you gamble in Reno? McGwire's confession is nothing more than a move so he can have a clean slate, and less questions about steroids when he reports next month to Florida for the Cardinals spring training as their new batting coach.
But Tony LaRussa always liked McGwire over Canseco.

Daily Dish: McGwire and Selig
Two names in the news recently.
Tony La Russa suggested and I assume kiddingly that Mark McGwire might pinch hit in September for the Cards.
It might be a nice one game stunt and prolong McGwire's time on the Hall of Fame ballot, delaying the expiration of his 15 year period of eligibility (he has already used at least three maybe four years) for an additional 12years beginning in 2015.
Seriously, would you take up a roster spot for a player who can't get around on a decent fastball which he would be sure to face. Even if he got a gift hit, how many times do you think he could do that in a real game?
If you just consider McGwire's home run totals against other alleged steroid users he is one of the most dominant power hitters of his era thus a hall of famer. If you want to dilute his numbers because of PED and then match him against the greatest of all time he isn't worthy.
In any case his reign as one of the greatest to play the game isn't significant enough for me to vote for him if I had a vote. Can you write the history of his era without including his baseball story? Probably not and that is a case for his inclusion..kind of like a Dizzy Dean who dominated for 5-6 years before hurting his arm.
These contradictions are the basis for debate about McGwire's worthiness for the HOF.
This publicity stunt diminishes McGwire's staus as one of the best power hitters of all time instead of adding to his mystiqiue. Maybe Minnie Minoso can get an at bat for St. Louis this fall..he's only 80 or so...The Cards manager should worry more about who his third basman will be and pray that Matt Holliday lives up to his contract than hyping his his new hitting coach.

Daily Dish: A's Sign Jack Cust
I like Jack Cust. He is one of the most approachable players on the ball club. Jack lives in my neighborhood....just up the block from me. Jack can hit the ball out of the park. He will lead the club in home runs in 2010. The A's will never be a playoff team with Jack as their leading home run hitter. Jack will be the DH. If Jack hits higher than sixth in the order it won't be a good sign.
Jake Fox should split time with Cust as the DH. Where does that leave the A's former slugger Eric Chavez? Sean Doolittle is he healthy?
With Cust around don't expect to see Chris Carter this season. The only way Carter comes up is if Daric Barton hits around .220 again.
Are the A's done tinkering... probably not as no one really has a grip on how close the A's top prospects are to being ready. Once we know that answer Scott Hairston will go quicker than you can say Rajai Davis.
The A's are overloaded with outfielders. I saw Travis Buck today. Always up beat I still think he is one of the most marketable players the A's have to offer, but where does he fit into the outfield? Buck should be dealt to Seattle where he can compete with Ryan Langerhans for a back up outfield slot.
Casey Kotchman is going to Seattle as its first baseman meaning Russell Branyan priced himself off the Mariner roster.
Folks tell me Justin Duchscherer appears to be a new man. Good news for him and the team.
I'm pushing for someone to step up and sign Hank Blalock. I think he can hit.
Ever think how Matt Holliday's winter would have turned out if the A's had dealt him to a team other than the Cardinals? Hitting .353 for St. Louis, a club that had the best hitter in baseball helping him in the line up over the last 12 weeks of the season, allowed Holliday to score a 120 million dollar contract. If you saw him play in Oakland you wouldn't have believed that Holliday could have saved his free agent season.
I'm not surprised Holliday went back to the NL. He was an awful AL player.
In any case it will be good to see Jack around the neighborhood next summer.
