The reason Melvin loved him was because he could go get fly balls, in stark contrast to Cespedes, for whom going back on a ball was the equivalent of Stanley searching for Livingstone.

The high OBP that Cowgill showed in the minors was never in evidence last year. And with this trade, the G &P Beane proves who’s in charge at Oakland, as if there were ever any doubt.
