Forgive me, I’m not entirely fluent in contract matters…but isn’t it more likely the A’s simply non-tender McCarthy? I can’t see him being the A’s highest paid player, which could happen if they go to arbitration with him. I tend to believe he’ll test FA after the season and get a multi-year. Maybe I’m missing something?

Mccarthy projects to around $4 million so he is affordable. With the injuries in their starting pitching Mccarthy will be brought back.

McCarthy is under team control for 2012; he will be offered arbitration. You don’t let one of the most consistent SP’s in baseball walk to save 3-4 million dollars.

The A’s are absolutely keeping McCarthy, they arent the Marlins….speaking of which, Logan Morrison would be an absolutely perfect fit in Oakland. He could combine with McCarthy to form the best Twitter-duo in MLB, along with providing cheap corner OF numbers.

Considering the A’s draw less than the marlins I’d say they wish they were the marlins. Lomo would rather work at a dump than play for the A’s but it’s pretty much the same thing when you think about it except there would be more people at the dump.

Thanks for both of your replies, guys. I agree he’s been great this season, and at $4 mil is a no-brainer. I was presuming he’d get quite a bit more ($6+) considering his performance.

Matsui’s not proud of his numbers because he’s washed up. Does anyone really see him bouncing back at age 38? Hang it up, Godzilla.

Why would the Padres want him? How many outfielders do we need and is he really an upgrade on any of the 7 or so mediocre ones we already have on the 40 man?

She has absolutely no idea what she’s talking about and shouldn’t be covering baseball like a certain player told her long ago.

Is it me…or did Coco Crisp turn into Rajai Davis?
