Three Down ... One to Go for Jim Hendry?

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:10:00 -0500

Slowly but surely Jim Hendry is removing the mistakes he made last winter when he decided to make unnecessary changes to a 97-win team. First, Hendry traded Aaron Heilman to the Diamondbacks for Ryne White and Scott Maine on November 19. His next move, letting Kevin Gregg quietly leave Chicago ... then on Thursday, Hendry dealt Aaron Miles to the Oakland A's, along with Jake Fox and $1 million for Jeff Gray, Matthew Spencer and Ronny Morla. Gray was added to the 40-man roster and is ex...

Jake Fox, Aaron Miles Traded to A’s

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:00:49 -0500

Jake Fox will be an All Star with Oakland. I really believe he’s that kind of player. With the chance to play everyday, especially given the DH role, I see Fox hitting 25 HR and driving in 90-plus RBI. Strangely, the Cubs never had a place for Fox to play, which makes little sense for a player [...]

The Oakland Athletics took a big step toward boosting their lackluster offense. The A's acquired third baseman Jake Fox, second baseman Aaron Miles and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs on Thursday for three players. The Cubs got right-handed pitcher Jeff Gray, minor league outfielder Matt Spencer and minor league righty Ronny Morla. The trade gives Oakland added depth in an infield that has been injury plagued in recent seasons, and Fox's big bat to boot.

A's trade for Jake Fox, Aaron Miles

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:22:25 -0500

Per ESPN Chicago and Rotoworld According to ESPN Chicago, the Cubs have traded Jake Fox and Aaron Miles to the A's for right-hander Jeff Gray and two minor-leaguers. Few details have been revealed, though this is certainly an odd one. Fox was stuck behind a few players on Chicago's depth chart and should get a better crack at playing time in Oakland. That part of the deal makes sense. But it's a wonder why A's GM Billy Beane and Co. would want Miles. It'...

Fox, Miles Traded To Oakland

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:11:47 -0500

Sorry there is no article link yet, but a breaking news headline on ESPN Chicago is that Jake Fox and Aaron Miles have been traded to the Oakland A's for three prospects. Like mentioned before there is no information about this trade. I don't why we would trade Fox for other prospects when we need bench help, but it is good to get Aaron Miles off of the team. Bye, Bye, Bye Aaron Miles!! One of the players is Jeff Gray, a right-handed middle reliever. Here is t...

Think I got the answer here.
That Cash for Clunkers program?
You think they'd take this used Aaron Miles?
Lookin' at it now, I'm not even sure why I got it.
What about an '07 Soriano with a busted clutch?
I know it's leased through 2014 but hell brother, I'll take anything for it.
This '09 Bradley - this thing came like that.
The signals don't even work.
Oh, and you see that heap over there, that Gregg?
I had a nice old Woody, but I gave it away when I saw the Gregg.
How much you give me for it?

Hi.
Just trying to have a little fun down here in my own lowered expectations.
