Reds Interested In Huston Street?: MLB Rumors
"I don't think the A's would want that, he doesn't really fit there need of right-handed power, simply because he is left-handed." "Besides, who wants 2 .230 hitters in the same lineup? They are both left handed no less..." Remember, being left-handed ...

Ed Wade Continues to Show He’s No Billy Beane
From 1997-2006 the Houston Astros and Oakland A’s were successful franchises, with the A’s twice cracking 100 wins and the Astros advancing to the World Series. But both teams hit hard times in 2007. The two teams took different approaches coming into 2008 and have continued those opposite tracks during the season. Here’s why it’s better to be rooting for the A’s than the Astros.

 Phillies Acquire Joe Blanton
