Frank Thomas Wants To Return To A's
According to MLB.com's Mychael Urban, A's DH Frank Thomas would like to return to the team for the '09 season. Thomas likes the team's direction and wants to play until he's 41 or 42 (he's turned 40 in May). He won't be looking for big money. Thomas believes Mike Sweeney would also like to return in '09.
Thomas had a huge month of May after the Blue Jays let him go, but then missed all of June and July with a quad injury. He hasn't hit at all this month. I imagine the A's would be willing to bring him back for a million bucks or so.

But then, wouldn't it be a bit of waste of a roster spot if they bring both Sweeney and Big Hurt back? What happens to Barton?

Jaybird- Barton is a highly-rated prospect, but if he isn't producing, he needs to be sent to AAA. If he doesn't show improvement at ST next year, he should start the season in AAA and Sweeney should be back. Big Hurt's a lock if the cost is reasonable.

Don't worry about Barton. He is TERRIBLE. He's being way too agressive at the plate. He's also letting very hittable pitches go by and ends up swinging at crap. He needs to relearn everything. That said, why would having Frankie in the lineup be bad? He's a DH not a 1B.
