Pickoff Moves
Git
A.J. Burnett, who just yesterday was decrying the absence of cheer in the Marlins dugout, today finds himself evicted from the team as GM Larry Beinfest told him to go away, this following a 5-3 loss to Atlanta, for which he, Burnett, was personally responsible for all five runs (four earned) and the loss. He wasn't the only one annoying the club: Manager-for-now Jack McKeon also benched Miguel Cabrera for God-knows-what. With the Marlins eliminated from all postseason play yesterday, they will have plenty of time to figure out what's wrong.A's Long-Term Danny Haren
Oakland has signed Danny Haren to a four-year deal, terms undisclosed.Ripko: Dodgers 9, Pirates 4
I was in my office writing the game summary, such as it was, for yesterday's Angels game, when Helen called me into the living room. "You've gotta hear this," she said as she hit Play on the DVR. "This" was one of the Fox guys blabbing about the Angels -- and, oh, yes, in case you were interested in the Dodgers, they played tonight, too, but that'll be later in the complete report, whenever we get around to it. Expecting anything else is squandering the loser's dividend.Yet. Non-prospect Repko turned in a doozy of a game, tripling twice and cashing in four RBIs. Even Edwin Jackson managed to scratch out a win, getting in five and a third innings on a very uneconomical 95 pitches.
As for this, well, I'm not sure, Bob, whether it's an extension of the discussion or not, but you all know my views pretty well by now, I'm sure. Some of those kids need to come up and start producing, and not just in the sense that they can answer "here" when their names are ticked off a roster.
Comments:
ESPN is reporting that the Haren deal is 4 years/$12.65. That is a friggin' steal if Haren continues to put up 200+ IP with an ERA of 3.80.
Good for Haren and good for the A's. If I wasn't a fan of the Angels, I'd be an A's fan - these kinds of moves make me giddy as they are intelligent beyond belief.
That said, I hope Magic shuts them down again, and K's Chavez four times for intimating that Santana hasn't thrown well at all this year.
Moron.

It's possibly a good deal. We won't know until the deal's over. With those numbers, you're looking at a 3-4 starter. OTOH, if you believe the market for pitching over that time is going to get much thinner, best to lock him up now.
Everybody keeps telling me what a genius Beane is. I'm not saying he isn't smart, but I do have to wonder what mistakes he'd make if he had the money to make them. Jermaine Dye cost him a ton of money, and what kind of production did they get from him?
