It was shocking to see at first. But then I started thinking about it and I really respect the A's for doing it given it's for a 2 month or so rental. It's WS or bust for them this year.
Cespedes is what? A .260 hitter wit 30 HR potential but with relatively high strike outs and low OPB. Not exactly "Moneyball" material. Yes, they will not be able to replace his power numbers, but Gomes does tear up lefties with a .400+ OPB this year. And they acquired Sam Fuld for a platoon. He's a decent player who's also a decent fileder and baserunner. I think adding Lester to go along with Kazmir, Samardzija and Sonny Gray gives them a very solid rotation for October.
