My G/F has family from oakland and she wants to get me an A's jersey - I'm not sure who to get though... I was thinking -

Kurt Suzuki? Is he going to stay?
Mark Ellis? FA soon?
Carlos Gonzalez? Risky!


Blanton may be gone soon - I like him but he's underrated.

Don't really like Harden or Street


Any ideas?

Tell them to wait until the season starts that way you'll be sure to get one of a player still on the roster. It seems that Bean's going to shake up the roster this year.

Retro Vida Blue jersey FTW!

He was the AL Cy Young winner and AL MVP at age 22!

Charley Finley tried to bribe him to change his first name to "True" to go along with John "Blue Moon" Odom and "Catfish" Hunter.

White shoes and day-glo unis, also FTW!

Why are you asking? If you aren't an A's fan, then why would you accept the jersey?

Keith Foulke just signed! j/k

If you don't want Chavez nor any of the pitchers, you're not left with much. Beane has friggen gutted the team.

Bobby Crosby?

I was going to say Rollie Fingers but that's in violation of the thread...that being said...I say go with Nick Swi...Mark Kotsa...erm...Dan Hare...hmph.

Rich Harden or Huston Street are my suggestions. Oft injured but when they're on...look out man.
