I honestly have no idea why A’s GM Billy Beane signed 30-year old lefty swinging outfielder Gabe Gross as he has stunk his whole career and 2010 was no different. Gross has played in 93 games for the A’s this year and he is 49 of 208 (.236 avg, .584 OPS) with 22 runs scored, 1 homer, 23 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. He has now played in 645 games in his 7 years in the majors and he is 345 of 1,447 (.238 avg, .714 OPS) with 198 runs scored, 40 homers, 184 RBIs and 22 stolen bases. I think the A’s would have been better served to give a youngster like say Travis Buck the 200+ empty at bats that they gave Gabe Gross.
