Athletics C Suzuki stepping up to the (dinner) plate

Oakland Athletics catcher Kurt Suzuki is doing his best to pack on the pounds. Suzuki told MLB.com that he is eating 4,000 calories a day in an effort to add 15 pounds prior to training camp. Last season, the 27-year-old Suzuki began the year at 193 pounds but weighed in at 185 at the end of the campaign. "You're training to play not just once a week, but every day,"...

It’s too Little, too Late for Kurt Suzuki

Was it just me or was anyone else shocked when they saw that Kurt Suzuki not only hit two home runs in yesterday’s game but that the second was his twelfth of the season? If I had to guess the numbers of home runs he has hit this season before I saw that number I would have guessed seven or eight. Those are twelve very quiet home runs. I think it is very likely Kurt could end...

V-Mart plays cat and mouse with Kurt Suzuki

Good ole Gene Lamont had his windmill going in the third base coaching box again and (per usual) the throw beat the runner by a good amount.

Is Kurt Suzuki Worth Keeping?

A few seasons ago I think many A’s fans were ready to accept Kurt Suzuki as the next Terry Steinbach. Kurt was supposed to be our next all-star catcher. The kid called a great game and did a solid job of talking to our pitchers in critical situations. Not to mention he had a decent bat. In 2009 he hit 15 home runs and drove in 88 runs and was hitting .274. I assumed he would...

Kurt Suzuki Finally Gets Going

Kurt deserves a high five after his performance last nightLast night was a bit of a coming out party for Kurt Suzuki offensively, for this season. He had struggled mightily so far this April, hitting in around .200 with 0 home runs and 1 run batted in. So when Mark Buehrle had a no hitter going into the top of the sixth I did not expect Kurt Suzuki to be the one to break it up with...

Suzuki Re-Elected – Four More Years

Kurt Suzuki was inked to a four year deal Friday, worth $16.25 million.  It’s nice to see the A’s keeping someone around, besides Mark Ellis, and I think it’s a solid move for the ball club. Kurt puts in his work behind the plate, is a great defensive catcher, and has power potential.  While his numbers are a bit lower than expected this year, he did struggle...
