Big time A's fan here...hoping they can have a killer year. I think Kouzmanoff and Sweeney will have breakout years.

From what I hear Kouzmanoff is a horse.

If the young pitching matures and Sheets has a good year you never know.

Who calls a 3rd baseman a horse?

That's good to see Oakas. I was starting to get afraid of this coming season. We just have to hope that Duke and Sheets can hold the rotation together.

I know tbill. If Duke stays healthy (physically and mentally) and Sheets pitches well and the young studs pitch well, it could be interesting.

Good to see some other A's fans here.

Oakland will be a lot better than a lot of the public thinks. They've got top-notch speed and defense, and great pitching. It's obvious that there are not many power bats in the lineup, but there are some dependable hitters. Capitalizing on the speed that Rajai Davis and Coco Crisp bring to the lineup will be key. Hopefully this year will be the year when Kurt Suzuki starts to get the credit that he deserves around the league too.

I have to say, my biggest hope for the season is that Geren will sit that loser Cust. I hate to see him DHing, and I hate even more to see him on the field. He's a waste of a body, and strikes out more times than he does anything even remotely useful. Oh and hustle is a word that is clearly not in his vocabulary

I'm guessing that is what he meant.

I still don't get the Sheets signing. Lots of speculation they will deal him in July to a contender, but any club even having to pick up a pro-rated portion of that $10 million salary is going to have to swallow hard. It's almost like the A's were bidding against themselves for this guy, a la Tom Hicks and the Rangers when they went after A-Rod years ago.

Too many people writing the Halos off too easily. Mariners going to be better, Rangers definitely going to be better.

Wow I had no Idea we had all these A's fans on sbr!
This is going to be a good team like the 99 team
but with better pitching! I think all 4 teams are closer
than people think it should be a fun year and hey you never
know. The A's just might make some noise!

Dallas Braden is going to need quality starts this year. The Angels are going to be hard for The A's to compete with.

AL West could be the best race this year. A's will compete but most likely fall off by the all star break.

Ya, he is not a legend yet, but is easily the best power hitter in baseball right now.
