Fremont Bound

The Athletics are somewhat hamstrung.  They had one of the worst offenses in baseball and their best hitter, Josh Willingham, is probably one his way out.  Willingham wants to stay but he was told that no deals will be made until the A’s stadium situation is resolved.  With no end in site, A’s fans could be looking at another stinker of a season.  Willingham belted 29 home runs and finally showed some of the offense people thought he’d have as a prospect.  Kurt Suzuki was the next best home run hitter with just 14.

Take out Willingham and this offense is pretty weak. David DeJesus and his 93 OPS+ might also be on the way out.  So if things hold and the A’s don’t make many moves, you could be looking at the 2011 Sacramento RiverCats being your 2012 Oakland Athletics.
