The season is 1/8 old — or will be around the middle of the 3rd inning tonight — and we are fast approaching the "6 week mark" mid-May that many teams use as a "where are we" marker. The samples are still small but the trends are clear. In the case of the A’s, some players are trending nicely while others are earning precious few "likes" on Facebook.
Jed Lowrie
This past off-season I may have said a word or two that was less than supportive about Lowrie. Luckily, nothing can be traced or looked up on the internet.
