I want to get behind the Oakland A's, I really do. It makes sense to build a team around the home run when you play in the Coliseum. It is a brutal park for hitters and you just aren't going to string a bunch of hits together for sustained rallies. They are fifth in runs scored & fourth in home runs. The team would really like to get a couple of guys going who could get on base often in front of their power guys. But damn, watching a bunch of .230 -.250 hitters and waiting for a home run is like watching paint dry.

Ten pitchers have started at least 5 games for the A's this year. Five of those guys are now on the DL, two are back in the minors, and one is Brett Anderson, back in the rotation until his next injury. Bob Melvin really earns his paycheck with this staff.
