Lester to the A's for Cespedes is a done deal.

Crap.

No worries. They'll still bow out in the ALDS. And won't have Lester or Cespedes

were they going to lose cespedes anyway?

He's a free agent after 2015. I don't understand the deal either. Elite OFer/bat

Cespedes was great as a rookie but has been mediocre since.

Dang. I liked Cespedes. He was in sort of a funk for a while but

As an A's fan I hate it

they must think they have plenty of offense already...

I don't follow them as much as I used to but wouldn't be surprised

rudi, bando, blue, hunter, jackson & campaneris aren't walking through that door

It is a great trade for this year.....here is your platoon answer for LF

I'm a huge A's fan...I'm not sure what to think.

I'm right there with ya. But, in Billy we trust!!

A dude who hits homers and throws players out w/ no hop from the fence are hard

coug203

7/31/14 8:38am

how many guys does he throw out a year?

And it very well may get them a WS. High risk high reward.

Thank you. Finally a little actual insight.

So, you say the A's tend to choke early in the playoffs, and this is somehow

I think you hit the nail on the head.

RichieRich

my problem with it is i'm not really a lester fan...

ds7

7/31/14 8:40am

I agree to a point. I think Lester's value is overstated because

Angel fan here. I like the trade.

This trade won't help the Angels, at all. A's got better. And, you still have

CalGTR

7/31/14 8:38am

But the Angels have the best batting lineup in baseball with the key pieces

coug203

7/31/14 8:39am

I don't think Cespedes was the best bat. Top 3 though

BYUCoug11

7/31/14 8:46am

Best bat? That's hilarious. I'm not sure he's in their top 5.

Scratch

7/31/14 9:06am

It is HIGHLY debatable that the A's got better for the rest of the season.

I'd love to hear how giving up a guy hitting .256(.240 last season) and getting

RichieRich

Don't forget the .300 on base.

like i posted above, look at the splits of Gomes and Reddick

As an Angels fan, I hate the trade.
