The current A's report as I see it is as follows (a semi-realistic best case scenario):
-Furcal signs to a 4 year deal (bye bye Bobby)
-Nick Johnson or Jason Giambi signs for cheap (bye bye Barton)
-We package Crosby (I hear SOMEONE wants him) and someone out of Cust (Likely)/Barton(Maybe)/Chavez (Reach) for a decent #2 guy
-We sign or deal for an ace/# 2. Our rotation is lacking right now and won't be dominant for a couple more years (Gio, B. Anderson, Cahill, De Los Santos,Inoa?). We could use a Derek Lowe (Definite Possibility) or even a Burnett (highly unlikely).
The lineup would look something like:
Suzuki C
Sweeney RF
Furcal SS
Holliday LF
Giambi DH
Nick Johnson/Chris Carter (Prospect,not likely) 1B
Ellis 2B (As much as I would like Cardenas or even J. Weeks there.)
Chavez/Hannahan (after chavee gets hurt) 3B (
)
R. Davis CF (BREAKOUT!)
Have to love that Oak-Town optimism
