  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's Know This Much About David Dejesus
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's know this much about David DeJesus: He can hit By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune PHOENIX -- For a guy who appears to have a spot locked down in the A's lineup, David DeJesus' exact role is hard to define. Is he a rally-starter who best fits near the top of the lineup, or a run producer who will earn his paycheck clearing the bases? All that's known is DeJesus, obtained via trade from Kansas City in November, is targeted for right field. If the A's wind up showing improvement offensively this season, figure DeJesus will be central to the effort in one way or another. "He's an all-around hitter who uses the whole field," A's manager Bob Geren said. "There are guys that hit more home runs, but when you put the numbers together, he's one of the best hitters in baseball." A .289 career hitter over seven-plus major league seasons, DeJesus, 31, has collected as many as 73 RBIs in a year (2008) and scored as many as 101 runs (2007). One notable stat for fans tired of watching A's hitters make the slow walk back to the dugout: DeJesus led the majors last season with a .287 average in two-strike counts. There's a strong chance he'll wind up as the No. 3 hitter by default -- sandwiched between table-setters Coco Crisp and Daric Barton and sluggers Josh Willingham and Hideki Matsui. Therein lies the problem that exists for the A's in the eyes of some.

  • Moneyball' Bit Player Korach Likes Film
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 'Moneyball' bit player Korach likes film ... and Howe Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review Ken Korach's voice can be heard for about 22 seconds in the hit baseball movie "Moneyball," now showing at a theater near you. That's probably not enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, given Anthony Quinn holds the record for shortest amount of time spent on screen as a Best Supporting Actor of eight minutes, as painter Paul Gaugin in 1956's "Lust for Life." But whereas Brad Pitt only stars in "Moneyball," longtime Las Vegas resident Korach lived the 2002 season as play-by- play broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics, who set an American League record by winning 20 consecutive games. And though Korach's 45-minute interview about that season wound up on the cutting-room floor -- apparently along with photographs of the real Art Howe, the former A's manager who was nowhere near as rotund (or cantankerous) as Philip Seymour Hoffman made him out to be in the movie -- Korach said director Bennett Miller and the Hollywood people got it right. Except, perhaps, for the part about Art Howe. "I wish they had done a more flattering portrayal of Art ... but it's Hollywood," Korach said of "Moneyball," based on author Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. "They wanted to show conflict between Billy and Art." Billy is Billy Beane, who was general manager of the Athletics then and still is today. Beane is credited with adapting the so-called "Moneyball" approach -- finding value in players based on sabermetric statistical data and analysis, rather than traditional scouting values such as hitting home runs and stealing bases -- to building a ballclub.

  • Tempe Diablo
    FY 2018/19 Operating Budget Supplemental Request Form Supplemental Title Tempe Diablo Stadium Department Community Services Division Recreation Ranking 4 Fund General Cost Center 2529 Type Recurring Approval Shelley Hearn Are you also submitting a Tribal Gaming Grant form for this request? Briefly describe request. Does it impact other departments? If so, include them in your description. Over the past six years demand on Diablo Stadium operations during both Spring Training and non-Spring Training has escalated, leaving the operations budget unable to cover current expenses. The wages and O&M budget is set for 15 Spring Training games, and the number of games has increased to 17 games. Game assignments and other requirements are made by Major League Baseball and the Angels without city input. For example, with the signing of Albert Pujols and Mike Trout, attendance at games and practice days increased significantly. This is going to be further exacerbated in the 2018 Spring Training season with the Angels' acquisition of Shohei Ohtani, one of the most coveted free agent signings of this year. This year’s excitement has increased media interest, resulting in more than 130 new media members from previous years. This has resulted in the need for increased staffing, barriers for crowd control and more custodial staff to keep the facility clean. With additional fans expected this season comes additional needs for stadium security, as required by MLB, such as the addition of staff and safety equipment to screen all patrons and staff prior to their entering the facility. Tempe PD and Fire have added staffing this year to handle the anticipated the increase in fan attendance.
