Oakland Athletics Call Up Top Prospect Michael Choice Author : @TheInscriberMag With the Sacramento River Cats being eliminated from playoff contention yesterday it didn't take much time for the Oakland Athletics to call up top outfield prospect Michael Choice. The now 23-year old got taken in the first round with the 10th pick in the 2010 MLB Draft and has progressively made his way up through the minor league system for the A's. For his 013 season in Sacramento he hit .302 with 154 hits, 90 runs scored, 29 doubles, a triple, 14 home runs, 89 rbi and a OBP of .390. He can play all three outfield positions though he most likely will see time in left field or right field when given the chance to start by manager Bob Melvin. Chris Young has struggled throughout the season and if the A's face a left-handed starter Choice might get the opportunity to start and according to the A's lineup card second basemen Jemile Weeks, shortstop Andy Parrino and reliever Pedro Figueroa have also been added to the roster. The River Cats do have two more games remaining for the season, so within the next couple of days more additions will get made. Currently the A's are two games back of the Texas Rangers for the AL West division and are looking to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays with right-hander A.J. Griffin getting the start and opposing Jamey Wright. 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

A's News Clips, Monday, November 21, 2011 Report
A’s News Clips, Monday, November 21, 2011 Report: A's may find out soon if they can move to San Jose San Jose Mercury News staff and wire report There are indications that Major League Baseball is now quickly moving toward a decision on whether to permit the A's to move to San Jose, Fox Sports reported Saturday. Commissioner Bud Selig, who nearly three years ago appointed a committee to help decide the A's future home, reportedly plans to meet with the San Francisco Giants within the next two weeks. The Giants hold territorial rights to San Jose, a huge obstacle Selig would have to help the A's clear through negotiations. According to Fox's sources, the A's already met with Selig earlier this month, and the team has given MLB assurances it will comply with baseball's request to expand the A's proposed 32,000-seat capacity of Cisco Field. The San Jose City Council last week agreed to give the A's exclusive rights for up to three years to buy almost 5 acres of downtown land for $6.9 million in order to build the ballpark near San Jose's Diridon Station. Q&A With Tony LaRussa Retired, but maybe not from baseball John Shea, Chronicle Staff Writer Tony La Russa guided the Cardinals to the World Series title and retired three days later. From managing. Not baseball. La Russa won 2,728 games with the White Sox, A's and Cardinals, ranking third all-time behind Connie Mack and John McGraw.
