Today I went to the A’s pre-spring training media event and, as expected, there wasn’t a whole lot of news. Most of the media horde (relative horde) was gathered around Josh Willingham. I decided to have a chat with Chris Carter. It’s going to be an awfully interesting year for Carter, who seems like he ought to be ready to get his shot in the big leagues, but the A’s have no spot for him.
Hey guys, it’s about time to shake my blog out of its winter hibernation, huh? I know, hasn’t been much here lately, but it’s the winter, and I was on vacation. (Turks and Caicos… thumbs up.) Anyway, last night I did a double-dip at CSN Bay Area, going on Chronicle Live and then doing Hot Stove. I’d link to clips of my appearances, but they didn’t put any on their site.
So now we’re about to begin the home stretch toward spring training. That means that the A’s and Giants will be trotting out a bunch of players for media availability over the next two weeks. The A’s are having an event on Thursday, and I’ll be at that. I am planning to report back here with details of what happens, as well as perhaps some video.
