Athletics Baseball Stuff |
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.

Athletics Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p><p>There is little doubt now who the A's All-Star representative will be when the teams are announced Sunday. Justin Duchscherer will be going back to the event he last made as a reliever in 2005.</p>
<p>On Thursday night at Chicago, Duchscherer allowed two runs in seven innings in recording his ninth victory, and he retained his American League ERA lead, at 1.96. The right-hander has not allowed more than two runs in 13 of 14 starts this season, and in that one other start, he gave up three. </p>
<p>As if that wasn't enough, Duchscherer has made 16 career starts for the A's and has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of them. Since the American League began recording earned runs in 1913, that is the longest streak by an Athletics pitcher to start his career, according to the...
Duchscherer leads Athletics over White Sox (AP)Huston Street would shrug or roll his eyes, not that it would stop Justin Duchscherer from launching into his sermon. Oakland's closer was overmatched. Duchscherer's opponents know the feeling. "For three years, Duchsherer preached down in the bullpen, 'I am a much better starter than a reliever. I'm a much better starter than a reliever,"' Street said after Duchsherer led the Athletics to a 3-2...

A's put Chavez on DL (AP)The Oakland Athletics placed six-time Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday because of a sore right shoulder and promoted infielder Wes Bankston from Triple-A Sacramento.
