Pockets: Burned Holes

Jose Cruz, JR is now a free agent after being dumped by the Toronto Blue Jays. Cliff Floyd denied the Red Sox offer of arbittration. Jose Hernandez is out there. Ismael Valdes is a steal for a swing-man (if you can put up with his attitude). David Justice hasn't officially retired.


None of this really impacts the A's. We doubt Billy Beane would spend more than $1.5-$2 million on a free agent. David Justice is a 250 AB guy and at full price, is out of the A's realm of consideration. Although, he would make some team a good coach down the line.


We plan on watching the last few free agnets fall into place and we'll finish our season ticket adventure over the Christmas break-New Year's day bowls. We plan on scanning a few items that we were sent from the A's ticket offices, just so you can see we're not lying.


The Twins Geek is interviewing folks from the Twins' front office. Needless to say, JB is so cool.
