Congrats on the sweep A's now sit just 5 games out of first with McCarthy and Ross coming back soon.

6 in a row after tonight. Weeks still getting done and Outman had a fine performance.

I have enjoyed watching Weeks provide a spark for this team. All is not lost in Oakland!

Barton was sent down last night. The OB machine has been anything but this season.

I was calling a breakout year for Barton.

[love_that_reefer]

I was too because he said he really hit the weights hard and I thought that would translate into more power. Oops!

[Providence A's]

Hopefully, he can find his stroke again in AAA. I'm not giving up on him.

Willingham to the DL, Chris Carter called up.

Moscoso is opening some eyes folks.

[Providence A's]

OK, he's 26 and absolutely destroying AA this year. I think it's time to move him to AAA. 71 games 13 doubles, 13 triples, 10 homers..OPS of 1.016.

OFs Taylor (AAA) and Choice (high class A) are doing well this year, too.

I'd like to see more of De Los Santos at the MLB level. He was dominating the minors (2.17 ERA, 29 innings, and 36 K's with a 1.44 WHIP). He's got an ERA of 2.08 in 4.1 innings with 9 k's and a WHIP of 0.69. I was at his MLB debut against Boston actually...1 batter, 1 k.

Barton has a lower OPS in AAA so far than he did in Oakland...great.

Mitchell was promoted to AAA after the game on Friday. He went 1 for 4 with a walk, an RBI, a run, and 2 SBs in his first game yesterday.
