You guys might want to wait until the actual game before you keep complaining about Donaldson. Hes going to be selected as a replacement. In 2011 Andrew McCutchen got snubbed, and the Pirates fans ended up looking dumb for all the whining they did after he was added to the roster a few days later.

A Josh Donaldson nugget from @InsideEdgeScout - OPS w/ men on base is 1.069. Only 3 men in baseball are better: Cabrera, Davis, Goldschmidt
Jayson Stark @jaysonst21m
One more from @InsideEdgeScout on Donaldson: One of just 10 hitters in MLB with .500+ SLG vs. fastballs & a .275+ AVG vs offspeed stuff
Jayson Stark @jaysonst19m
Two more Donaldson nuggets I dug up: He's reached base more times than Manny Machado & is worth more Wins Above Replacement than Mike Trout.
Jayson Stark @jaysonst17m
In other words, how is Donaldson not an all-star? And how can A's only have one all-star? A sure sign something went amiss in this process
SJ suit backlash?

Grant Green called up and will play 2b today 
excited to see what he can do. And a good move to see what he gives us before we trade for a second baseman

It's nice to see Green's name there instead of Rosales'
Rosies a nice guy and a class act, I was rooting for him to do well, but the guy just sucked lol

righty heavy vs a lefty today
I'm guessing whoever is pitching against has us some bad splits on righties/lefties because Reddick has been hot and he's on the bench. Maybe just wants to give him a day off
