The A’s sign outfielder Shannon Stewart
The A’s signed Shannon Stewart to compete for time in their outfield. Stewart hit .293 last season with a .715 OPS. He also hit 2 homers and knocked in 21 runs in only 44 games. Stewart has been having problems with his feet, which caused him to miss most of last season. He has been a good player over his major league career and probably still has enough in the tank to be productive for the A’s this season as long as they limit his playing time to keep him healthy.
Billy Beane works in mysterious ways. But don’t doubt him for he is a genius.
Don, Billy Beane is a genius at getting his teams to the playoffs. But they are never good enough to do any damage when they get there.
