I hear he's taken by some chick who prefers movie stars to baseball players...

Beane gets crap no matter what he does, no matter how great the move. Haren really has pitched better than Mulder, but the injury-plagued offense couldn't help him out early on. As for Calero, his injuries have held him back. I think if he is finally healthy he'll be a solid bullpen guy for the rest of the season.
I'm not one to make outlandish predictions (ok, yes I am), but this A's team will battle for the AL West crown this year. They may not win it, but they'll be in the race in September.
