Nope. But the only thing that will help that is experience, and now is the perfect time go gain that experience. Maybe he never will get there. The only way to know is experience.

Furcal was going to be needed to be replaced sooner rather than later. So the sooner they find out of Dee can be that replacement, the better.

All good points.

Out of curiosity, How do you feel about them getting rid of Trayvon Robinson? I was a little surprised, but I guess they are convinced that Sands is the future left fielder.

Haven't followed Robinson at all, so I have no opinion. I do know that I liked what I saw from Sands when he was up.

The Mariners may not be helping A's fans feel good today. Check out this moment from the first inning.

That's awesome.

Kevy Baby · 08-03-2011, 08:03 AM

That's some head's-up base running

Alex · 08-03-2011, 08:07 AM

If only the catcher had been drawn into desperately trying to cover third base.

That'll go in the A's demonstration reel for The Highs and Lows of Fielding.

Others in the file are:

Derek Jeter being where no one expected him.
Whatever game it was where the A's won in a walkoff because the guy on third scored after the pitcher, angry about the pitch call, took a half-hearted stab at catching the throw back from the catcher, missing it.

On the subject of defense - James Loney doing it like a boss.

Two amazing feats: thanks for posting those!

Here's the game recap from the missed throw back to the pitcher. August 11, 2005.

If anybody can find video of that ending I'd appreciate it (my searches aren't turning it up. The ESPN story has a link to video but it is 404.
