The dude is the real deal... why the hell Arizona traded him & cook is beyond me.

But Parker & Milone is a really good place to start when rebuilding a staff... if either Peacock or Sonny Gray turns out to be as good as they think we might just have us a new big 3.

Nice to see the real A's lineup back in action... I never got too worried with the offensive struggles because when this team is healthy they've shown they can score runs and even explode at times. Weeks, Reddick & Cespy are 3 nice pieces to build an offense around... I like that Zuk and Penny are bringing up the rear at 8-9. I still think Cowgill is more of a 4th outfielder type but I'm liking him in the 2 hole right now. Now we just need to find out if Kila can be an everyday player and how much Inge has left in the tank (in case we want to bring him back) We have a few more young players that need to be sorted out but all in all I think we're seeing the team we'll be watching for the next 3-5 years starting to come together.

I love that we drafted not one, but two shortstops yesterday as well... Penny is not the long term solution and it looks like Beane knows it.

Looking forward to seeing Doolittle pitch too.
