From the Putting Lipstick On A Pig Dept, FINALLY getting some real/modern video boards...stadium is still a pit, but at least it won't have some old 80's vintage TV screen and dot-matrix aux scoreboards.

Typical Beane move. No risk involved so why not do it. If he doesn't show anything useful then cut him like they did with Manny and Blanton. If he does, then cool.
My guess would be he doesn't make a single start for us

Agreed, although I hope that he does well.

Oakland's kind of like a revival spa for pitchers. Kazmir was thought to be done, Colon pretty much was done and they worked out. Zito could as well and be a decent back of the rotation guy, but if not, it really doesnt cost the A's anything.

It's going to be tough for him to make the team. A lot of talent in the back end of the rotation. You never know though.

A German stem cell procedure not legal in the US had everything to do with Bartolo Colon's new found success, not so much the A's.

I'm hoping that Coco in LF will help him stay healthy. If for no other reason, maybe less diving involved.
It'll be important to find some viable LF options this spring.

Ha, I was halfway joking but already he's getting nicked up. And Beane should've started looking for viable options after 2013 season, Crisp has always been brittle and after one of his highest games-played totals they had to know the injury bug would catch back up with him and it did in 2014.

The Giants have territorial rights over the zone, so there can't be a sticky thread owned by the A's.
