  • A's News Clips, Friday, June 25, 2010 Oakland A's Reliever Michael
    A’s News Clips, Friday, June 25, 2010 Oakland A's reliever Michael Wuertz's struggles are puzzlement By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Observe Michael Wuertz in the A's clubhouse, and there's little that suggests how rough this season has been on him. The soft-spoken reliever generally keeps to himself at his locker, much as he did last season when he was mowing down American League hitters with regularity. He isn't fooling the opposition nearly as much in 2010, and without much prodding, Wuertz opens up about his frustration. "I've never struggled like this before," he said before Wednesday's A's loss against the Cincinnati Reds. "It's been hard mentally, but it's one of those things you've got to forget about." It's easy to point to the A's hitting woes for why they have lost ground rapidly in the American League West. Long-term injuries to starting pitchers Brett Anderson and Justin Duchscherer haven't helped. But the A's normally trusty bullpen also has shown vulnerability, posting a 2-6 record with a 4.97 ERA in June. Wuertz's struggles stand out if only because he was so dominant last year, his first season with Oakland. As the setup man for closer Andrew Bailey, Wuertz led AL relievers with 102 strikeouts. He averaged 11.67 strikeouts per nine innings, the second-highest rate by a reliever in Oakland history, and held opponents to a .188 batting average. This season has told a different story. After missing the first month with right shoulder tendinitis, Wuertz has posted a 7.11 ERA in 17 games heading into tonight's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, December 13, 2010 Oakland A's: Deal With
    A’s News Clips, Monday, December 13, 2010 Oakland A's: Deal with Matsui appears to be close By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Multiple sources have indicated to Bay Area News Group that the A's and free-agent slugger Hideki Matsui are very close to finalizing a contract. An announcement could come as soon as Tuesday. Terms are not known, but it's believed the A's have been considering Matsui on a one-year deal. Team officials don't comment on free agents until deals are finalized, but A's general manager Billy Beane met with Matsui's agent, Arn Tellem, during last week's winter meetings, and those talks were fruitful. The A's are in search of a designated hitter to replace Jack Cust, who was non-tendered and signed with the Seattle Mariners last week. The left-handed hitting Matsui, 36, moved to the top of the A's DH wish list after Lance Berkman signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. Matsui hit .274 with 21 homers and 84 RBIs last season with the Los Angeles Angels. He spent his first seven major league seasons with the New York Yankees. The A's main priority this offseason is finding an impact hitter or two to inject some life into an offense that ranked near the bottom of the American League in every major category in 2010. To this point, Oakland has come up empty on players it has targeted this winter. The A's reportedly offered a five-year, $64 million contract to third baseman Adrian Beltre but withdrew the offer after it was clear Beltre was looking elsewhere.
