This is a long-winded way on Callis' part of saying that while Beane certainly isn't wrong for acknowledging that the window is closing or has closed, that he screwed the pooch the last time it was open. | |

Jim Callis at BA yesterday... Athletics GM Billy Beane talks about windows more than Microsoft. Smaller-revenue franchises have tighter timeframes in which to contend than their larger-revenue counterparts. No one will dispute that. ...But there's a difference between difficult and impossible. The Rays face more daunting obstacles, yet they've advanced to the postseason in three of the last four years. So when the A's traded Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey in December and cited that their window to contend wouldn't open for another couple of years, that talk rang hollow. Oakland has painted its own window shut. ... Cahill, Gonzalez and Bailey are the only A's selected to the All-Star Game in the last three seasons. None is exorbitantly expensive, with Cahill under contract for an affordable $29 million through 2015 and Gonzalez and Bailey eligible for arbitration for the first time. ... Oakland had made four straight playoff appearances in 2000-03 and finished just a game out in the AL West in 2004 when Beane decided to trade Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder before losing them as free agents. ... After (Carlos) Gonzalez had a lackluster rookie season in 2008, Oakland shipped him, Smith and Huston Street to the Rockies for Matt Holliday. Holliday lasted four months before the A's gave him to St. Louis for Clay Mortensen, Shane Peterson and Brett Wallace. Wallace was traded to the Blue Jays for the equally disappointing Michael Taylor five months later. If you're scoring at home, that's six valuable veterans (Hudson, Mulder, Haren, Swisher, Street, Holliday) turned into four valuable big leaguers—three of whom were traded (Haren, the Gonzalezes) and a fourth who's sidelined until at least mid-2012 (Anderson). Oakland also got nothing of long-term value when Beane dealt righthanders Joe Blanton and Rich Harden for seven youngsters in mid-2008. ... Oakland has compounded its problems by its inability to draft and develop hitters. It also has ranked near the bottom of MLB in draft spending while wasting money on the likes of Ben Sheets ($10 million for 20 starts) and Michael Ynoa (three minor league starts since signing for $4.25 million out of the Dominican Republic in 2008). The A's don't need excuses and discussion about windows. They need better personnel decisions. Coming from Baseball Prospectus, The Hardball Times or any of a dozen other websites? It hurts -- the truth always does -- but in the end no biggie. Coming from Jim Callis and Baseball America? There's going to be some blowback. |
