A's Sign Dallas McPherson

Damn. I was hoping to see him back with the Bees. It's going to be very hard to root for a guy in the green and gold, but I'll do it. Good luck Dallas.

Yawn

When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Pretty much the same reaction I have to 99% of your posts

We are the Los Angeles Angels of the late 2000s

So...

The A’s finally have a healthy third baseman?

YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

LMAO..

The A’s STILL don’t have a healthy 3rd baseman. Not until Dmac’s put in a full year healthy, I wouldn’t call him 100%… too many back problems.

I can see that happening…

I know that D-Mac hasn’t done anything yet since we cut ties, but if he’s healthy, he’s got a few good major league seasons in him. That’s a big if though. He’ll get his opportunity there if he’s healthy. I can’t help but wish him luck there after all he’s been through.

whoa...a few too many ifs

my bad

IF

the middle word in “LIFE” …

by Rev Halofan on Nov 22, 2009 1:48 PM PST up reply actions

Yep

I’ve been worried about that since the first rumors in offseason 2006 of letting him go…Frank Thomas for the A’s 2.0?

RIP Nick Adenhart.

The best case scenario

Is McPherson actually being healthy enough to having at least one, maybe two productive years with the A’s, then falling off the face of the Earth.

Considering his recent injury history, I’m not counting on it.

Or is Kendry perhaps the one who needs to sit?

Funny, I was gonna write a Fanshot predicting this...

Typical for an organization that took chances on such late-20s “non-prospects” as Matt Stairs, Olmedo Saenz, Erubiel Durazo, and Jack Cust.

i'd love to see him win the spot in OAK and succeed

i always like D-Mac, and was bummed that he was never healthy. He’s still in his prime, and I really hope he can play a full season.

Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

Dallas has a bat that can really do some damage

He may just have a good major league year in the near future

by TheAntiSox on Nov 23, 2009 3:39 PM PST reply actions

Just too bad it will likely hurt us...

Much like Jeff Weaver?

RIP Nick Adenhart.

Hah

Yup and Dallas will be in the same division. Damn.

by TheAntiSox on Nov 24, 2009 9:07 AM PST up reply actions

DMac is a solid gold boat anchor.

The upside on him remains enticing but, unfortunately, all hope for him doing anything but create drag on a franchise should be politely set aside. If a divisional competitor wants to chain themselves to DMac, I say go for it.

Had I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could have saved America.
