Re: White Cleats - Oakland A's 2010 Edits

I just saw an article out today about Mark Ellis. Apparently, he has the third base fielding percentage for a 2B in history (over 750 games at position). I thought it kind of fit the topic here. I have given him a 92 fielding rating.

There are a couple of roster sets online that you can download in the roster vault. I found one, although I can't remember the name, that had a ton of minor league players in it. I had already started my franchise so I used the attributes on the roster to edit some of my minor league players. I had to grab two A potential free agents to edit into Carter and Taylor. A might be too high, but I am biased and the A's really suck this year with the stick.

Thanks, brunnoce!

I don't want to clutter the thread, but I'm looking for a good projection of the lineups and rotation. Can a brother get a reference for that?

I can't wait to put the edits in tomorrow!

It still pretty much up in the air, but right now im using:

Coco
Davis
Suzuki(clinched batting 3rd)
Chavez/Barton
Kuzzzz
Cust
Elis
Sweeney
Pennington


In game i would definatly use Fox, as he is really good!
But irl Fox is sucking this spring, so he might not make the team and go to waivers. Imo the A's shuold keep him at least as a backup cacther(he played as a C before going pro) but its already said Powell is clinched so that wont happen... right now Fox is fighitng with Barton for a spot, and he is losing big time, Barton is pretty much 90% clinched to be our 1st baseman with Chavy beein our utility man(1st, 3rd and evan SS, OF)

Re: White Cleats - Oakland A's 2010 Edits

brunnoce, I have read recently that it looks like Geren wants Suzuki batting 5th to start the year, not 3rd like most suspected.

brunnoce, I have read recently that it looks like Geren wants Suzuki batting 5th to start the year, not 3rd like most suspected.

yeh i posted that in the full minors thread, check this:

A's signed C.Gaudin(http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/c...with-as-032810)... he will make the bullpen as Wuertz will problaby be out for a considerable time (will have MRI today)

So the April 5th bullpen is now looking like it might be Bailey, Ziegler, Breslow, Blevins, Gaudin, plus two more -- probably from the trio of Jason Jennings(most problaby clinched as our long man), Edwar Ramirez, and Brad Kilby.

So my proposed Opening Day roster, as of right now, looks like this:

Basic Starting 9: Barton, Ellis, Pennington, Kouzmanoff, Suzuki, Cust, Crisp, Davis, Sweeney

4 man Bench: Chavez(DH and 1st base), Powell, Gross, Rosales

Starting Rotation: Sheets, Braden, Duchscherer, Anderson, Gonzalez (Cahill up for first broken player)

7-man Bullpen: Bailey, Gaudin, Ziegler, Breslow, Blevins, Kilby, Jennings/Ramirez (doesn't matter)

DL: Devine (up for Kilby when ready)
Wuertz (up for Gaudin when ready)


A's starting lineup imo

With Barton:
Crisp - CF
Davis - LF
Sweeney - RF
Kouzmanoff - 3B
Suzuki - C
Cust - DH
Barton - 1B
Ellis - 2B
Pennington - SS

With Chavez:
Crisp - CF
Davis - LF
Chavez - 1B
Kouzmanoff - 3B
Suzuki - C
Cust - DH
Sweeney - RF
Ellis - 2B
Pennington - SS

Suzuki was going to bat 3rd, but Geren made it clear he will bat 5th(http://www.csnbayarea.com/pages/land...mp;feedID=3430)

REBEL, gonna take a look on those

Re: White Cleats - Oakland A's 2010 Edits

i've been batting this lately:

Crisp
Davis
Kurt
Kouz
Chavy
Cust
Ellis
Sweeney
Pennington


But I'm probably going to run with

Crisp
Davis
Chavy
Kouz
Kurt
Cust
Sweeney
Ellis
Pennington

Barton will get some ABs as well.

For a rotation:

Sheets
Anderson
Duch
Braden
Cahill

I really REALLY wanna find somewhere for Mazzaro...
