The Oakland Athletics designate Tommy Everidge for assignment
The A’s have designated 26-year old righty swinging 1B Tommy Everidge for assignment. He played in 24 games for the A’s last year and he was 19 for 85 (.224 avg, .667 OPS) with 13 runs scored, 2 homers and 7 RBIs. Everidge also played in 107 games in AA+AAA ball last season and he was 144 for 430 (.335 avg, .958 OPS) with 80 runs scored, 20 homers and 94 RBIs. It looks like Everidge will be playing for someone else in 2010.
UPDATE: The division rival Seattle Mariners have claimed Everidge off waivers and the A’s can’t be too happy about that.
