What the A’s are doing drives me nuts. They don’t have the talent to win now, yet they REFUSE to let any of their kids in the system take any major league at bats away from immense talents like Coco Crisp, Seth Smith, Jonny Gomes or Daric Barton.

Meanwhile, Michael Taylor is hitting .347/.547/.938 in Sacramento, with his teammates commenting on how even his outs are loud smashes all over the field.

There’s a special brand of insane going on over in Oakland right now.

The Tigers have given this guy very opportunity to be useful and he has failed time and time again. He needs to retire. Dumpster diving for third basemen is a perfect description for what the A’s are doing. Dombrowski gave this every opportunity (to a fault).

Last week’s play was Luke Hughes, this week’s is Brandon Inge, next week’s will be. . . umm, does anyone have Matt Macri’s number?
