I agree there was not much out there that could be had as far as pitching goes,
they do need to address it in the off season. They have a solid stable lineup, a
decent pen, with age, injuries and inconsistancy catching up to the starting
rotation they will definately need to shore it up during the off season. Still
would'nt mind seeing them getting one more solid bat in the outfield as well.

pitcher that was worth trying to get was Zito, and who knows, he may re-sign
with Oakland depending on what they do in the playoffs. As far as the header
goes, Wasted Money...Mo Vaughn, well, my dime says just the memeory of that July
blast off the scoreboard against the Yankees, the one that seemed to still be
going up when it hit the scoreboard, that was not wasted money.
