Season Previews: Oakland Athletics


With Spring Training well underway, it's time for one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Five years ago, they began as a semi-serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We're just gonna go with what we know. Finishing our preview of the American League West, here is a sneak peek at the 2012 Oakland Athletics.

Goodbye to Gio
So long Bailey and Sweeney
Hello Josh Reddick

The Oakland A's signed
Coco Crisp for two more years
We love his afro

Yoenis Cespedes
Made an awesome video
It's hilarious

Seth Smith in left field
Gomes and Cowgill backing up
Quite the outfield depth

Barton at first and
Donaldson across the field
Suzuki catches

Jemile Weeks turning
Double plays with Pennington
Carter will DH

Brandon McCarthy
Colon, Parker and Peacock
Milone and Braden

Will Grant Balfour close
Or will Fuentes have the job
Those are the choices?

Oakland will punish
Seattle in the standings
Tough division though
