Scott Hairston has been traded to the A's for 2 minor leaguers, perhaps a precursor to a Holliday deal?

NO MORE HAIRSTON!
Except during interleague, but still!
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.
Over 2/3 less Hairston per season!

Fox Sports says
The two pitchers are Ryan Webb and Craig Italiano.

He was just tired of being mistaken for Craig Español or Craig Français.

Craig Deutsch is on line one.

Italiano’s prolly going right to the Lake Elsinore bullpen. He’s been pretty bad all year and the LE rotation is awesome, the best in the league if you ask me.
Good news is he’s out of the SJ Giants’ hair. He’s owned the Giants this year.

I saw Italiano pitch early in the year against the Giants. He certainly didn’t look like to me like he was worth acquiring.

He repeated advanced-A this year after splitting the year between low-A and advanced-A, and before that was stuck in low-A for two seasons. No thanks.

Agree, I think this is another deal where the PTBNL is key. Rumors say it “will be one of two pitchers in the A’s organization. One of these unnamed players reportedly has Major League service time.” Could be one of oaktown’s real prospects, as opposed to these two mediocre ones
Eveland?

I stand corrected. Italiano might end up in the LE rotation as they promoted their best pitcher Cory Luebke to AA.

He’s out of the NL West at least.

Why the fuck couldn't we do this?
The A’s didn’t give up anything at all.

From MLB.com:
Towers said the deal with the A’s came about in the past day, when A’s general manager Billy Beane contacted him in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game against the Dodgers. Towers had another deal in place, but after talking to Beane, he decided to jump on that deal instead.
I wonder what the deal in place was?? Giants were rumored to be interested,
That would be typical Billy Beane, hearing the Giants had a deal in place and then disrupting it. They did the Giants’ a favor though. If we can’t do better than Scott Hairston, we should stand pat.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
well, if the package Beane offered was actually better than the package the Giants offered then we were about to get Hairston for free.

An A's friend hypothesized
that the PTBNL is Duchscheerabjsdfhwerer and he cannot be named until he comes off the DL.
no way
that would actually be way too much

yeah, I seriously doubt that is the case

SCOTT HAIRSTON IS OUT OF THE NL WEST!!!!
We’re done playing the A’s this year, right?
No more game-winning homers against us from that smush-faced bastard!
This will give us at least two more wins this year.

I don’t like Scott Hairston.
