Bill James thinks Brett Wallace should be a solid major-leaguer next year. In his 2010 handbook , the baseball guru sees the rookie third baseman getting 504 at-bats with 17 home runs and an OPS of .757.

Desme is on fire. After going 3-4 tonight with a home run, his average is back up to .436.
On a side note, Oakland pitchers got rocked today. 4 Oakland pitchers gave up 13 earned runs in only 6.1 innings. Ouch.

Two years ago, A's general manager Billy Beane first talked about the A's need to rebuild. The cupboard was bare in the minors, the big-league team was bleeding free agents and coping with numerous injuries. Measures had to be taken.
Then, when the club acquired four name players last winter - Matt Holliday,

Carter improved his average to .214 (6 for 28) with the solid performance. Of Carter's 6 hits this season, 4 of them have been home r

All six of the A's coaches will return for their same roles in 2010, the team announced Tuesday.
Curt Young, the longest tenured member of the staff, returns for his seventh season as pitching coach. The former big leaguer received praise for his work with a rotation heavy on rookies, while also getting consistency out of the bullpen.
Speaking of the bullpen, Ron Romanic

This is getting ridiculous...
Grant Desme was 2-5 tonight with 2 home runs and 3 RBI's as the Desert Dogs dominated Peoria. Desme leads the league in homers wiht 5 and has now hit 4 of them in his last 5 games. He's had 5 straight multi-hit games and is second in the league in total bases. His numbers on the season are as follows:
.419/.471/.968, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 3 B

It's ironic, yet also impressive and encouraging at the same time.
If the A's win just four out of their final 12 games, they will have the same number of wins as they did a year ago. Many might look at this and say the team didn't improve because their record didn't change much. That argument is easy to make. However, looking at the big picture, the A's team of 2008 racked up most of
