Brett Anderson, lhp Born: Feb. 1, 1988

Aaron Cunningham Born: April 24, 1986

Sorry guys couldnt dig up any scouting reports on Dana Eveland or Greg Smith

[FNQ]

They are bums is why Good lookin' out though...

Gonzalez is the only one I've even heard of though. Supposedly, a close to "cant miss" guy. I'd like to see some of him in the spring before I cast any judgement, but the consensus is that the A's did pretty well.

[HMFFL]

I'm extremely disappointed. I heard on the radio that 3 of the prospects are among the best...Not sure what too believe. I guess we will need to see how these players progress once they are part of our farm system.

This is great for us Hummuffle

The relevant prospects have no MLB experience, to my knowledge, meaning their arbitration hasn't even started yet. A very key point to the deal, I'm sure. We sold high on Haren. Remember, he had an above average defense behind him for most of the year, and he's still very prone to the longball, sure to be amplified in Zona.

That said, he's still a great #2, solid #1, and will be missed in Oakland. This all but confirms that everyone whos not considered a special prospect (re: Swisher, Barton, Suzuki) is on the block. Chavy, Dan Johnson, Ellis, Crosby, Cust, Kotsay, Street, Blanton, Harden... any one of them could be next and I'm just licking my chops at the prospects we can still get. If this is the market for pitchers right now, we need to sell on Harden and Blanton, tomorrow.

Nice haul for Oakland.

I really like Gonzalez. Carter, Cunningham, and Anderson seem nice. Eveland and Smith won't be much but could be worth a look as long relievers or something. I doubt Oakland trades anymore pitchers. Maybe one of the hitters 510 listed.

DANA EVELAND , lhp Age: 22 B-T: L-L Ht: 6-1 Wt.: 240
Drafted: JC of the Canyons (Calif.), D/F 2002 (16th round) Signed by: Corey Rodriguez



Background: Eveland was a draft-and-follow signee in 2003, one year after the Brewers gave Manny Parra $1.5 million as a draft-and-follow. Eveland joined Parra in the Huntsville rotation in 2005, blew past him as a prospect and spent much of the second half in Milwaukee

[FNQ]

Eveland = This year's Lenny DiNardo/Ted Lilly/Corey Lidle

Have one good season, inflate his value, trade him... Moneyball is back! I'm glad to see the wheels turning this offseason... much needed rebuilding.

I agree,I have no problem rebuilding,and Billy always seems to do a great job,when he has.

[HMFFL]

I have done some research on our new additions and I'm pretty excited about what the future holds. Hopefully Billy will turn things around for us and we will once again be a playoff team within the next couple seasons.

I agree with you.

Lefthander Dana Eveland moved on to his third organization in the last three years when he was included in the package that sent Dan Haren from the Athletics to the Diamondbacks. Eveland is coming off a great season in Mexico during which he went 4-2, 2.51 with 69 strikeouts in 61 innings for Mexicali. But scouts still have questions about Eveland's impact in the big leagues. "He's always carved guys up in the minor leagues
