Bobby Kielty News

AN deputy blogger baseballgirl is wistful : We remember Milton Bradley for all of his dramatic moments during the season and the playoffs, and it has been widely accepted that he lead the A's to their postseason berth, but the numbers simply don't bear that out.

From Blez's February 2006 interview with John Sickels: Blez: What do you think of the A's losing Ethier? Is that one that fans will regret down the line? Sickels: I think Ethier will be a fine player, but with guys like Putnam, Buck, Herrera, and Robnett still in the system, they had the depth available to deal Ethier.

The Twins have been searching for middle infield help and before the Trade Deadline expired on Friday, they got it.

Right off the bat we can think of two people who must be fired up about the trade the A's consummated Friday, those being the principals involved.
