Ugh, Huh?

Billy Beane just threw us a poser right in the middle of our prep for the annual 'Christmas Story' marathon.


Once we find out why Beane signed a player with an On-Base percentage below .300 (Chris Singleton was at .298 last year) we'll fill you in.


One EIO Staff memebr mentioned, "It looks like they just acquired a light hitting Terrence Long with a little more power...brain power."


Our main question is; why throw $1.4 million at a guy when Eric Byrnes probably wins the spot in spring training, anyway. Hopefully the A's can unload Long or Singleton come mid-June.


Albatros! Get it on a stick!
