You protect your players who have health issues, especially when 1/3 of the team is already banged up. Thomas is 38-years-old in a couple weeks. Kotsay has a history of back trouble. You sit them a game here and there in May so you have them during August and September. The reason the A's missed the playoffs last year was because of injuries. No need for that to happen again.
Macha is just protecting his players. Don't want to risk injury, again.
