[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I am watching my first As game of the season this afternoon. You guys play extremely good defense... scrub [/ QUOTE ] The outfield defense is second to none. The infield D is OK. Chavez is not what he used to be, but is still pretty good. Crosby doesn't have much range. Ellis is a stud though. I'm sure the sabremetric dudes can jump on me for these ratings but it's my opinion from watching the A's play all the time. [/ QUOTE ] Ellis is one of the best all-around 2B in the game.

[/ QUOTE ] This is true, I watched alot of A's games last year via MLB Extra Innings, and he impressed me more and more throughout the season. Even though he has started off slow on offense this year, there are not many 2nd basemen I would take over him from an all around ballplayer standpoint.

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't paid attention to the last couple of games and maybe Street was overworked, but why didn't he close the game tonight? Instead they brought in Duchscherer and there goes the game... [/ QUOTE ] I missed the end of the game because MLBTV somehow didn't decide that me living in San Francisco was a blackout problem until the top of the 8th. scrub
