They got Chacon in a trade for two Class A minor league pitchers that nobody ever heard of.
The Matt Lawton pick-up looks like a great one, although the Yanks gave up a legit prospect for him. Some guy named Berg, who was 6-1 with a good E.R.A in Class A (at Staten Island, I think).
Oakland is gonna be tough to beat with their pitching, though.....
Code:
Starters: Harden 10-5 2.63
Zito 12-10 3.49
Sarloos 9-6 3.61
Blanton 8-9 3.61
Haren 10-10 4.04
Set-up guy: Duscherer 1.85 in 50 games
Closer: Street 1.28 in 52 games
The only thing working against the oakland pitching staff, except for Zito, is inexperience.
