Washington has seemed loaded with those guys in recent years, haven't they? Outfielders who are good to have if you don't ask too much of them? Willingham, Churchie, Maxwell, Harris. Not who you want full-time, but not disasters as full-timers either.

Seems like an almost moneyballesque "buy low" pick up by the A's.

also, what about Churchie for 4th OFer?

Thats a crowded OF in Oakland: DeJesus, Willingham, Crisp, Matsui, Sweeney, Conor Jackson.

Methinks Coco Crisp be a-moving.

Matsui is a full-time DH now but that's still a bit crowded.

... for right-handed pitcher Henry Rodriguez and outfielder Corey Brown.

Neither one high on Oakland's prospect list acc to BA

Here's a Willinghamian question: How come, when I see two consecutive lower-case l's, they look green on my monitor?
