Their is no way Fuld will be on the opening day roster with Gentry aboard.

With Oakland you never know. All of Crisp, Reddick, and Cespedes missed time at one point last season. Depth is always key.

I agree with letsgogiants. All 3 of our starting outfielders have major durability concerns. Gentry will be starting by mid-season in place of one of them. It’s a sure thing. We need 5 outfielders.

Great signing by Oakland. He’ll provide outfield depth if he stays with the organization and seems like a cool guy in general.

Super Sam is already 32 ?

Darn it….I was hoping there was a chance the Rays could find a spot for him. Sam Fuld is an awesome guy and an even better role model. He just wrapped up his diabetes camp this weekend at USF.

Great get for the A’s. He is one of those rare players that I never got mad at despite his struggles at the plate. I can not explain why. I had hoped the Rays would get him back but failed to see a fit with the current roster makeup. Good luck Sam!

Good AAA depth, I like it
section 34
The A’s take seriously the idea of putting a watchable AAA team together for the fans in Sacramento, maybe because it’s not far away and they want those people to be A’s fans too. This might be the purpose of the Fuld signing, although as other readers point out, most of their outfield is injury-prone.

Derek Barton needed somebody with an OBP 100 points higher than his anemic batting average to keep him company in Sacramento before the annual September call-up/tease.

Well, we do need outfield depth but I’m not really sure Fuld is the answer. The guy doesn’t hit. Can’t hurt to bring him in for Spring Training though, he could be the 5th outfielder. Good luck kid
VICTOR DEDOVIC
I guess Bobby Abreu wasn’t available.

If you wanna make a joke, you could say Oakland is bringing Sam into the Fuld.

Oakland is bringing Sam into the Fuld.

Remember when he was hitting .400 in 2011 for a few weeks, and some geniuses thought it deserved headline attention?

Was really hoping the Rays could keep him. Good luck to him and the A’s, another good ball club.
