 The
Oakland Athletics have a strong fan base and rightfully so with past
super stars such as Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Mark
McGwire, and Jose Canseco just to name a few. The 2007 Oakland
A's is not full of house name baseball players but they are loaded
with some good young talent that needs to blossom for the Oakland
A's to make a playoff run. The Oakland A's have a young talented pitching
staff with future potential aces such as Dan Haren, Joe Blanton, and
Rich Harden. The A's are banking on Eric Chavez to have a big season
offensively. If the young pitching staff comes threw and some players
step up and provide some offense the Oakland A's could make a playoff
run in 2007. The biggest obstacle for the Oakland A's in the AL west
this season should be the Angels.

Patterson doubles with bases loaded for Athletics (AP)Mark Reynolds said he's more relaxed after signing a new three-year, $14.5 million contract on Thursday, and it showed. Reynolds hit his second homer of the spring and added a double that led to another run in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 7-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The third baseman said that negotiations were "wearing on me a little bit.
Athletics Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p>When the A's offered Marco Scutaro more money and more years than Boston did this winter, it was apparent that the team isn't entirely sold on Cliff Pennington as the everyday shortstop.</p>
<p>Scutaro chose the Red Sox, so Pennington remains the frontrunner for Oakland's shortstop job. But don't count out Adam Rosales.</p>
<p>Rosales was obtained from Cincinnati in the deal that sent Aaron Miles to the Reds and brought outfielder Willy Taveras and his $4 million salary to Oakland; the A's dumped Taveras and will pay all or nearly all of his salary this year. So they've made an investment in Rosales, 26.</p> <p>Rosales was considered a possibility as the team's utility player, but with Eric Chavez showing that he is, so far, healthy as he comes back from two back surgeries and three...
Spring Snapshot: A's crossing fingers for comprehensive health (Yahoo! Sports)Every day in spring training until we're finished with the entire league, BLS takes a brief capsule look at...
Giants score 3 runs in 7th to beat rival A's 6-1 (AP)Oakland Athletics left-handed starting pitchers past and present engaged in a duel on Wednesday. It was pretty much a draw between Barry Zito and Brett Anderson. Zito won the American League Cy Young Award with Oakland in 2002 but hasn't found the same magic in San Francisco. He gave up one run on four hits, walked three and struck out two in 3 1-3 innings before the Giants rallied for a 6-1...
McGwire, Holliday forge powerful alliance (Yahoo! Sports)Mark McGwire and Matt Holliday are re-establishing a teacher-pupil bond that once turned rocky.
Sheets pounded for 10 runs without getting an out (AP)Ben Sheets was battered for 10 runs without retiring a batter in his latest poor showing, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Oakland Athletics 13-5 Monday. Sheets signed a one-year, $10 million contract with Oakland after missing last season with elbow problems that required surgery. He gave up eight hits and a walk, and another batter reached on an error.
Oakland A's beat Kansas City Royals 10-3 (AP)Eric Chavez's bat may have been quiet but his glove was active. Playing in two consecutive games for the first time since last April, Chavez handled seven chances in the field flawlessly Sunday in Oakland's 10-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Chavez, who was 0-for-3 at the plate, will sit out two days and then play in two consecutive games again.
McPherson among those Athletics reassign to minors (AP)Former major league infielder Dallas McPherson was among the 10 players the Oakland Athletics reassigned to their minor league camp on Sunday. The team also reassigned right-handed pitchers Sam Demel and Matt Wright, left-handed pitcher Cedrick Bowers, catchers Joel Galarraga and Max Stassi, and infielders Grant Green, Jemile Weeks, Matt Whitney and Corey Wimberly.
A's split squad edges Padres in 10 innings (AP)Oakland right-hander Clayton Mortensen is on the fringe of the competition for the final spot in the Athletics' rotation. Finally getting a start gave him a chance to stretch things out. San Diego right-hander Kevin Correia threw more than 60 pitches in his third start of the spring with mixed results.
Gonzalez makes his case to be a starter for A's (AP)Gio Gonzalez might ride his new-look changeup right into the Oakland Athletics' rotation. He sure is making a strong case to be the A's fifth starter. The left-hander, competing with Trevor Cahill and Vin Mazzaro to win the job, pitched three scoreless innings and struck out three in his first start of the spring as Oakland beat Bay Area rival San Francisco 8-7 on Saturday.
Adam LaRoche helps Arizona beat Oakland 10-1 (AP)The Diamondbacks acquired Adam LaRoche for his consistent bat and stellar defense. Arizona manager A.J. Hinch also likes the first baseman's leadership. Little seems to faze the soft-spoken LaRoche, traded from Pittsburgh to Boston to Atlanta during the season last year. He had a career-high 154 hits and made only two errors.
Duchscherer throws simulated game. (AP)With all his injuries over the past few years, Oakland right-hander Justin Duchscherer wasn't about to let a line drive off his left thumb keep him off the mound. Duchscherer threw 30 pitches in a simulated game Friday, his first outing against hitters this spring training. Max Stassi's line drive caught Duchscherer on his left thumb, which then ricocheted off his right shoulder.
Wolf throws 3 scoreless innings in Brewers loss (AP)Milwaukee's biggest offseason acquisition is working on a nice spring with his new team. Randy Wolf struck out four in three scoreless innings Thursday, but Gabe Gross hit a two-run triple against his former team in the seventh and Michael Taylor added a three-run homer in the eighth to power the Oakland Athletics to a 7-3 win over a Brewers split-squad.
Dallas Braden is eyes of A's young pitching staff (AP)Dallas Braden has found a whole new role to play for the Oakland Athletics' young pitching staff. He's become a second set of eyes to many of the younger hurlers. Braden, at age 26, is older than all but Ben Sheets and Justin Duchscherer among possible A's starters. But after an offseason in which he helped the University of Pacific pitchers, he's discovered a taste for instruction.
Sheets gets his work in as A's fall to White Sox (AP)<p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/mlb/SIG=11rflau16/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=300310111&prov=ap"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100310/thumb.a7fc20dc40b1498b9b6ae250e0b5e647.white_sox_athletics_spring_baseball_azjc109.jpg" width="89" height="130" alt="Oakland Athletics' Ben Sheets(notes) throws warm up pitches before facing the Chicago White Sox in the first inning of a spring training baseball game in Phoenix, Ariz., Wednesday, March 10, 2010." align="left" border="0"></a></p><p>Ben Sheets still looks like a pitcher who hasn't worked at the big league level in nearly a year and a half. His command isn't quite there and his fastball velocity is slightly down. He is unfazed, because Sheets has never been one to post big spring numbers. Oakland's new $10 million ace still considered his short outing in a 9-5 loss Wednesday to the Chicago White Sox a step in the...</p><br clear="all" />
A's center fielder Crisp has hamstring injury (AP)Coco Crisp leaned over to pick up his bat from the on-deck circle and felt a "prickle" in his left hamstring. He still took his third at-bat Tuesday, and his leg told him two more times he wasn't right: in the batter's box and running to first on a single. The new Oakland Athletics center fielder said Wednesday he has a strain in the hamstring and it isn't clear how long he...
Harden has mixed outing as Rangers, A's tie (AP)Rich Harden breezed through the first two innings but never finished the third in his second outing with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Harden gave up four runs on two hits in 2 2-3 innings. He struck out four, walked three and threw a wild pitch in the Rangers' 8-8 tie with a split-squad of Oakland Athletics.
Royals rally to beat Athletics split squad 11-10 (AP)Rick Ankiel homered and drove in four runs as the Kansas City Royals rallied from a five-run deficit to defeat an Oakland Athletics split-squad 11-10 Tuesday. The Royals trailed 5-0 after two innings and 8-3 going into the sixth when Ankiel hit a three-run homer. Ankiel also singled home David DeJesus in the fourth.
Cubs' Dempster pitches 2 perfect innings (AP)Ryan Dempster tossed two perfect innings in his spring debut and the Chicago Cubs beat the Oakland Athletics 10-3 on Monday. Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez each drove in a run for the Cubs. Ryan Theriot had two hits, walked once and scored twice. Brett Anderson pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings and Kurt Suzuki homered for the A's.
Alderson hired as Dominican consultant to MLB (AP)Former Major League Baseball executive vice president Sandy Alderson has been hired by the commissioner's office as a consultant to help reform Dominican Republic operations. A former president and general manager of the Oakland Athletics and chief executive officer of the San Diego Padres, Alderson chaired a committee on Dominican operations last year.
Eric Chavez making smooth transition to 1B for A's (AP)There were moments in early spring games when A's manager Bob Geren could have been looking at a reflection in a mirror as Eric Chavez made plays at first base. The six-time Gold Glove third baseman has no problem with grounders, pop ups and feeding the pitcher. Footwork may be a different story, along with handling throws up the line.
Athletics-Angels rained out (AP)<p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/mlb/SIG=12f32qm3v/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-athletics-angels&prov=ap&type=lgns"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100307/thumb.04b7e8fa738f413f889fcf932b85ec9f.athletics_angels_spring_baseball_azer104.jpg" width="130" height="86" alt="A field attendant looks out on the tarp-covered field at Tempe Diablo Stadium before the Los Angeles Angels' spring training baseball game against the Oakland Athletics in Tempe, Ariz., Sunday, March 7, 2010. The game was later canceled because of rain." align="left" border="0"></a></p><p>The Oakland Athletics at Los Angels Angels game has been rained out Sunday. About 50 Japanese media were in attendance to cover Hideki Matsui's debut with the Angels. Matsui signed a one-year, $6 million free-agent contract after being named World Series MVP with the New York Yankees last season. Angels manager Mike Scioscia told reporters earlier in camp that Matsui would be treated carefully...</p><br clear="all" />

Crisp doubled and singled, Steve Tolleson drove in the go-ahead run and the Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Saturday. "That was a real nice first game," Geren said of Crisp.</p><br clear="all" />
Ben Sheets passes first test for Athletics (AP)<p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/mlb/SIG=11r8mkqhg/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=300305111&prov=ap"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100305/thumb.b8c4f33ac20c448fa415c8f6b218f921.brewers_athletics_spring_baseball_azrs108.jpg" width="99" height="129" alt="Oakland Athletics left fielder Rajai Davis(notes) makes a leaping catch against the Milwaukee Brewers in the fourth inning during a spring training baseball game on Friday, March 5, 2010, in Phoenix." align="left" border="0"></a></p><p>Ben Sheets acknowledged being a little nervous but insisted it had nothing to do with facing his former team. It was more about facing hitters for the first time in 17 months. Sheets, who signed a $10 million, one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics in the offseason, started Friday's 8-7 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers and tossed 1 2-3 healthy innings.</p><br clear="all" />
