  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Group to Fight
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Group to fight public funding for A's stadium in San Jose By Tracy Seipel, Mercury News, 12/16/09 After months of sharp rhetoric against the proposed Oakland A's move to San Jose, backers of the San Francisco Giants have started swinging. Today, a group of San Jose Giants fans — with support from the minor league team and, perhaps, its big league partner — will unveil a coalition called Stand For San Jose to oppose public funds or subsidies that would bring the A's to a new downtown ballpark. The group plans a public relations campaign to argue the stadium would divert scant city resources from schools, police and fire services — something San Jose officials say is untrue. Lawyers for the group members also plan to file a letter with the city today challenging a revised environmental impact report for the stadium. At a meeting Monday night at Municipal Stadium, San Jose Giants president and Chief Executive Jim Weyermann met with a handful of neighborhood residents to discuss strategy. The team is partly owned by the San Francisco Giants, who took a 25 percent stake earlier this year in what was widely seen as an effort to strengthen their claim to the South Bay. The Giants own Major League Baseball's territorial rights to the area and say the A's move to San Jose would steal a significant chunk of their revenues. Weyermann declined to say what role the San Francisco Giants are playing in the campaign, referring questions to the club.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, January 21, 2011 Drumbeat
    A’s News Clips, Friday, January 21, 2011 Drumbeat: Chavez update, Pennington, jersey numbers From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser 1/20/2011 5:37PM I heard from a scout who works for another NL team that the Dodgers were raving about Eric Chavez's tryout today; he swung the bat well and apparently looked healthy after being put through his paces. Also from the scouting grapevine, it sounds as if there is some pretty strong interest in Chavez elsewhere, but I know that Chavez is really excited about the Dodgers, so I hope that's where he lands. I mentioned in yesterday's Drumbeat and this morning's Chronicle story that the A's are now light on backup infielders, but I forgot to mention a status update on Cliff Pennington, who had left shoulder surgery at the start of the offseason. Assistant GM David Forst told me yesterday that Pennington will be fully ready for spring training, so his health isn't a major concern for the team at this point. The A's still hope to retain Steve Tolleson, who was designated for assignment, but it's not as if they're going into the spring with Eric Sogard as the lone shortstop possibility. Pennington has the all-clear. I tweeted some information the other day that I neglected to mention here; many Twitter followers seem to be very interested in number assignments, and at their behest, I tweeted these: Rich Harden will be 18 (Andrew Bailey has Harden's former No. 40 with Oakland; David DeJesus is 12, Josh Willingham is 16 and Grant Balfour is 50.
