Thumbs-up on the Holliday trade.

It looks like I’m in the minority here, but i like the Hairston trade. We get a cheap bat for three guys that have absolutely no future in our organization. We have so many better, young pitchers, and even if he’s only average, Hairston will help keep our offense from being downright embarrasing. Buck and Cunnigham haven’t shown anything when they’ve had chances this year, and if they ever do start playing up to their potential, than Hairston can be flipped, even if it’s only for a mid-level prospect.

I’m very happy with the Holliday deal. Getting Brett Wallace was one of the greatest things the A’s could have done. Plus, we’ll now see what Eric Patterson can do. What’s your take on the Holliday deal guys?

Been thinking of a way Billy could get us out of this Matt Holiday fiasco…Now here me out,we trade Holliday,and a AA or AAA or say maybe Gio to SD for Adrian Gonzales. He is under control till 2011 ,then he wants 20 mill a year. you can pay him ,trade him or collect draft picks. Reading a lot about SD FO having an itchy trigger on AG. They wont pay 20 mill,plus they have a better chance of signing Holliday long-term,than AG. I mean, Billy would have to conjour up a spell unlike the ones recently. whatta ya think

A lot of people are down on Gio…and I guess rightfully so, but I still really like him. If he can ever get his control down pat…he has so much potential.

I can’t believe the A’s won. Down 12-2 in the 3rd inning, they come back to win 14-13. Victory of the season right here, if this doesn’t lift spirits, nothing will.

Yeah, then it’s even better to watch Gio give his follow up performance… Time to go back to minors Gio and Vinny.

I would just love it if someone could explain to me what the hell they are thinking. I absolutely hate this trade, and always have, especially with Gallagher being the PTBNL, and I would love to understand WHY this happened. Knowing that we gave up Gallagher for him is actually making me hate Hairston…Is he that much better than Buck Sweeney Cunningham Doolittle? Because he is going to be blocking two of those, and I think all of those four have more potential than a 29 year old career .255 hitter having a decent first half fluke.

A couple weeks ago the Pirates GM wrote a letter to the fans explaining what he was thinking and why has made the moves hes made…And right about now….I really freaking need one of those from Beane, I just cant figure out what the hell he is thinking….

Who are the outfielders of the future for us? Are they planning on Weeks in CF or are they keeping him a 2b? Do they really think Hairston is the answer in CF? I sure dont…

How about Nelson Cruz? It was frustrating seeing him mash those home runs last night, a big-time power hitter, something the A’s have been without and will be without for some time.
