Dude donated $10,000 so the family of the Petaluma Little League could go watch their kids play. He’s cool in my book (post Devil Ray’s, of course).

I live in the Bay Area now and I watch the A’s a lot, both on TV and in the flesh. A lot of people, me included, are pretty disappointed that Billy Beane didn’t resign Gomes. He did an excellent job in Oakland this year, both on the field and in the clubhouse. He’s pretty average as a DH but he was effective playing in left field. If he’s not staying in Oakland I’m happy that he’s going to the Sox. I feel much the same about him as Cody Ross after he left the Giants for Boston.

Gomes & Crisp were team mates in Oak. last year and it all worked out. If Gomes contributes and becomes the Sox version of Shawn Thortnon then it’s all good.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and best thoughts to those serving in uniform around the world.

Never been a Gomes fan, but as you say, he’s supposedly a good clubhouse presence, and we need that. As long as it means we can also still sign Cody Ross – there was some doubt expressed about whether we’d sign both.
Oh well, I suppose we’ll just have to trust Ben and hope he knows what he’s doing.
