  • '09 A's Need Better Pitching? Beat Reporter Mychael Urban Answers
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Inbox: Did the '09 A's need better pitching? Beat reporter Mychael Urban answers fans' questions By Mychael Urban / MLB.com Why didn't the A's go after pitching before last season? Also, are they going to re-sign Adam Kennedy? -- Danny S., Alta Loma, Calif. Was pitching Oakland's problem in 2009? I'd argue strongly that it wasn't. Sure, some of the kids took some lumps, but general manager Billy Beane was, in my opinion, very smart to let that happen. Clearly, young pitching is the foundation of Beane's rebuilding project, and had Justin Duchscherer been healthy and had Josh Outman stayed healthy, the A's would have had one of the better rotations in the American League. Even without Duchscherer and Outman, they had a solid rotation. And the bullpen was among the AL's best for most of the year. The major problem in 2009 was the offense's performance in the first half -- and the failures of Matt Holliday and Jason Giambi to provide the kind of production for which they were brought in. That's the way I saw it, anyway. When the offense perked up in the second half, Oakland was a pretty good team. Not great, but certainly good enough to suggest that the team is heading in the right direction. As for Kennedy, who is a free agent, I can't give you an answer with any sort of conviction. I'm sure you've heard that there have been talks between the two sides, and both sides say they're open to a new deal.
