Oakland Bringing Their A Game

I for one am glad to see Jason back in an A's uni. Once the locks grow out and he gets a few more tats then maybe he'll be able to recapture his previous Oak Town mojo. Gotta love his fun loving attitude and his willingness to work with the young guys at the very least. And with the addition of Matt Holliday and Orlando Cabrera you gotta wonder what Mr. Billy Beane is up to.

I'm so used to the A's trading for prospects and stock piling for the eternal "future" that this here-and-now trading trend is a bit surprising. I hate that we lose all the young guns we bring up, but its always fun to watch the new guys and the OG vets mesh and beast on the competition. This is why we always start the season slow- none of our players know each other yet. But after the all-star break we may do a bit of damage man. Juiced to see what we can piece together.

What do you guys think about our chances this year?
