Tommy Everidge was finally called up after Daric barton hit the DL and was forced into the lineup playing first. He came through with a big RBI double in the ninth that proved to ignite the three-run tying rally and force extras.

The offense pounded out 21 hits, five by Kennedy, four by Ellis, three by Cabrera and two by Garciaparra, Davis, and Sweeney.

Those on there way out:

Kennedy has been a stud since acquiring him, however, he’s perfect trade bait and most likely will be gone by the end of the week. Cabrera’s been on fire since the break earning him a ticket out as well. Anyone else guys? It’s reality. Wuertz has been a hot topic as well but it would be nice to see him stick around unless Beane is overwhelmed by a deal. Duke? Any takes?

What do you guys think of the Holliday deal, receiving Brett Wallace is great add and they also received two other previous early round selections in the 2007 and 2008 from the Cardinals. For me it’s good riddance Holliday, who provided the A’s, and fans, with nothing when it counted early in the season.

I say let it ride and get rid of all they can. Keep Sweeney, the pitching staff and a few others. Love the trading season. Go A’s 2010 and beyond!

Any thoughts A’s fans? I personally think this deal-and now the Harden deal-were a complete waste. I’d prefer to have a oft-injured Harden over Hairston any day. He’s at best an average AL outfielder. Three players-two with immense potential and only 23- for a 29-year-old average talent?

How can true A’s fans trust this organizations moves any longer. I find the A’s difficult to watch and I have been watching them since I was six (twenty freakin years). I have grown intolerable of Matt Holliday, he’s one of the most overrated overall hitters in the game. A good hitter should be able to adjust to new pitchers, the pitchers that have not faced him have adjusted.

This organization is becoming worse and worse, year by year with really no end in sight. I’m ticked off at Billy Beane and all the A’s fans who say “just be patient, Billy knows what he’s doing.” How can anyone get excited about an organization and the future who’s best player in the last five years was Frank Thomas.

Excuse me for my negativity but I had to let it out.

For myself, the only way I’ll be truly interested in the remainder of the season is if the A’s deal most of their offense and bring up some of that “potential” talent all of these trades have accumulated.

Hold back nothing guys, I ‘d like to hear all opinions.

Quickly to the positive side. Brett Anderson just pitched a two-hit complete game shutout and the A’s beat the Red Sox in Fenway 6-0. Seriously impressive.

Back to the headline…

I would like to get the opinions from you guys on how you think the A’s management is doing. There have been many young players called up and down this and last season, who thinks this affects the overall confidence and talent of the prospect? Also who thinks the A’s are letting talent waste away elsewhere.

Travis Buck is the latest to be sent back down to the minors after the A’s acquired another outfielder in 29-year-old Scott Hairston.

Here’s my list of players that could-of-been but probably wont because they haven’t been given a chance.

Travis Buck, Daric Barton, Gregorio Petit, Erik Patterson, Aaron Cunningham, Tommy Everidge (isn’t getting younger), and Jay Marshall. All these guys are having good minor league seasons, some great (Everidge, Patterson, Marshall) but some have noticeably struggled since being called up and down. Barton and Petit are the most obvious.

What are your thoughts?

*Update* to the player to be named late in the Hairston deal. The two pitchers the Pad’s will choose from are Dana Eveland and the prize in the Rich Harden deal, Sean Gallagher. How bad is the deal if they give up Gallagher?

If your an A’s fan and you’re as upset as I am about how the A’s organization is being ran, read this article on Foxsports.com. Beane and Geren get doused, deservedly so.
