Wow

A's trade Cespedes for Lester (and Gomes).

I'm a little bummed by this trade. Cespedes is my favorite player on the A's and the one hitter who you don't change the channel when he's up to the plate. Plus, one of their strengths this year was having a 3-4-5 of Cespedes, Moss, Donaldson, which is quite solid. Sure, our pitching staff is totally nasty now. I mean, we have four guys who could conceivably be aces. Or maybe a better way of thinking about it -- we have four #2 guys who are better than any other #2s in the game.

In Billy we trust...I guess...
