I hate the A's and I am not a fan of Billy Beane's at all... but that being said - I applaud Beane for "going all in." Maybe the Cespedes trade will be their downfall, maybe not. I like the fact that he took a shot and did what he thought would help put the A's in a position to win it all. I understand why he did what he did... I don't think anyone anticipated the huge drop off from Moss and the injury to Crisp, etc., etc.
I'm just happy they're not in first place and will have to scratch and claw their way into the post-season.
