Alberto Callaspo at 1B?

[Chuck]

Alberto Callaspo will start for the Athletics at first base against left-handed pitchers.

 

LOL

It won't last and I'm sure Barton will come in around the 7th-9th innings.

 

Honestly, Lowrie is looking worse than Callaspo now.

[CaliAngel]

so glad he's not on our team anymore so Skip can just interject him into random positions whenever he pleases

[disarcina]

why -- I thought the A's had other options there........

 

we moved Calaspo because he didn't have the power numbers for a corner spot............

[sneaky_flute]

People here underrated Callaspo when he was an Angel. He was above average with the bat and pretty solid defensively 

[Spirit]

Green for Callaspo was such a nice trade.

 

 

 

(Even if he did say he'd come to Fanfest and then didn't show.)

[Quinlanforthewin]

Can we please stop sh*tting (are we still allowed to cuss) all over the A's and Rangers before the season starts? I can't keep knocking on wood this much....

[Guest]

The A's are such a peculiar club; their choices are very fascinating in light of their continued success.

That was actually the Callaspo that played for KC and had an .820 OPS from April 2009-May 2010. I wonder if his wrist injury right after that permanently took away his XBH power. He never truly hit like that here.

He'll rake

Book it

He was a 3.3 and 3.5 WAR player in 2011 and 2012. Yeah, it wasn't as good as he was in KC, but he was still criminally underrated. We've been big losers out of giving up Callaspo, Bourjos and Grichuk for Freese, Salas and Green.

I believe 2014 will prove this statement to be criminally false.
