“Athletics righty Jim Johnson pitched poorly enough to open the season despite the fact that Oakland traded for him and his $10MM salary”
This is a very awkward sentence Steve. Might want to change it.

“The A’s are not recieving the production they expected after aquireing Johnson and his 10 million dollar salary over the offseason”

Thanks. I admittedly rushed through that bullet/the end of this post after I saw the K-Law tweet on Harper. Definitely was reflected in the outcome, haha. Much appreciated.

In other news the A’s announce to day they plan to play only 8 baseball players in the lineup against the rangers. The 9th player will be Daric Barton pretending to be a baseball player.

Barton = Billy Bean’s kryptonite.

I think Billy renewed his vows and Barton was his new best man. Bob Geren being the best man at his wedding, which Billy also took too long to fire.

The defensive specialist first baseman who has played worse defense than the people he’s playing in place of.

(Oops dunno why I thought Wash) Melvin going with his microsplits against Darvish. 5 for 10 with a home run and 2BB

I don’t want to hit the panic button on the A’s bullpen quite yet, but this shaky start is making me uneasy. Gregerson scare’s me a lot. He looks like he’s pitching BP.

I guess getting away from Greg Zaun and his negativity wasn’t the solution to J.P. Arencibia batting problems..

Hard to find worse negativity than a catcher who hits worse than Shoppach, even classic 4a guy like Kevin cash, yet isn’t known for his glove, or arm like those 2 and is getting paid nearly 2m.
The entire league had 3y to see how much use this guy was, surprised Daniels even gave him another flyer, at least at the MLB level.

I was of the mind J.P would have an improved year with Texas, partly considering his career numbers in Arlington were stellar while he was a Jay (he had 7 HR’s in 11 career games there going into this season). Boy was I wrong.
Jeff Chynoweth
You weren’t the only 1 that thought that, I actually expected him to post good numbers but it seems he has taken all the promise he had and wasted it..

Conger for Neftali Feliz?
