Pickoff Moves
Athletics Nation Wraps Up Beane Interview Series
Again, kudos to Tyler -- it's quite an accomplishment. Part 1, part 2, and part 3 for your reading enjoyment.Update: Okay, so Beane didn't get the Dodgers GM job. He's not bitter -- if anything, he's happy. But...
Blez: Michael Lewis mentioned that you and Paul had mentioned perhaps getting back together one day and all three running a team.Frank McCourt, are you taking notes?BB: I’ve whispered about wanting to get involved in an ownership situation. I don’t think that’s that big a secret. The biggest thing for me is that I’m very picky and I want to stay on the West Coast if I possibly can. Particularly at this stage in my life. My daughter and my parents are down in Southern California. Once again, this shouldn’t be taken arrogantly, I would like to be trying to do something else if only for my own personal growth. What that is, well some of those are private thoughts. The one thing you have to be careful of is that restlessness can be a chronic condition.
Glaus Headed For Minors?
A rehab stint in the minors? That's what Mike Scioscia's saying is a strong possibility for Glaus now. I tend to agree with Richard on this one -- the early return of Glaus would essentially bring back a rusty singles hitter to the club. The only reason to bring him back at all is if they thought he could play third, a near impossibility."The optimism the medical staff and Troy are showing is encouraging, but there are some things Troy has to go through before returning," Scioscia said. "There is a possibility of him playing for us, but I don't know if I want to plan for that. Because the important thing is not next month, it's the next 10 years of his career."Not to mention the fact that the Angels have to be serious about getting into the postseason, and one more guy without a home run stroke puts him in the same league as Eric Owens -- a hanger-on to a team expected to contend.
Comments:
But Figgins has really hit a wall. 270/316/351,668ops so far in august. and that's after an already down month of 750ops in july. he's also been caught stealing in 10 of 19 of his last attempts.
surely a rusty Glaus has to be better than that.

p.s. Beane+DP owning the dodgers would make me speechless... they'd call that a dynasty.
