Chris Biderman previews the series. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1294354.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1294354.html Sat, 25 May 2013 03:34:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics Many pundits have pegged the Los Angeles Angels as the team that will unseat the Oakland A's as the AL West champions in 2013. The A's get their first regular season look at their Southern California rivals this week in a three-game set. Which team will flash championship form? http://athletics.scout.com/2/1281975.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1281975.html Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:31:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The 2013 regular season is finally here. Can the Oakland A's make another run into the post-season? Chris Biderman previews the A's 2013 squad. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1279773.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1279773.html Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:40:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The success of the 2012 Oakland A's offense was in large part due to the production of the team's outfielders. The A's are returning largely the same group of outfielders in 2013. Can they carry the team back to the post-season? Will any new outfielders emerge at the big league level for Oakland? How does Chris Young fit into the picture? Chris Biderman addresses these questions and more. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1266338.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1266338.html Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:47:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics OAKLAND - No team in the American League scored more runs after the All-Star break last season than the Oakland A's. The A's used several platoons to maximize production. Oakland is hoping that formula is a winner again in 2013 and they have brought in a few new pieces to the puzzle. One of the most important of those new faces is CF Chris Young. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1262104.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1262104.html Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:07:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics OAKLAND - The 2012 Oakland A's captured the hearts of their fans, and it doesn't look like they are ready to let the team go. A raucous sell-out crowd of 10,000 fans filled the Oracle Arena to celebrate the A's 2012 season and welcome the 2013 squad. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1261611.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1261611.html Mon, 28 Jan 2013 06:21:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics As savvy teams do, the Oakland A's have put themselves in position to reap big benefits from teams over-spending on free agents. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1246956.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1246956.html Thu, 06 Dec 2012 04:46:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The 2012 post-season may still be underway, but the Oakland A's are already setting their sights on a 2013 post-season run. Oakland began what could be a busy off-season with a trade for veteran outfielder Chris Young on Saturday. We take a look at the deal inside... http://athletics.scout.com/2/1232359.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1232359.html Mon, 22 Oct 2012 06:11:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The Visalia Rawhide clubbed 31 hits and scored 21 runs Tuesday night in a legendary offensive performance led by normally light-hitting second baseman Michael Freeman. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1186937.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1186937.html Wed, 16 May 2012 14:47:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks have dealt with as many injuries this month as they did throughout all of last season. Top-of-the-rotation starter Daniel Hudson is the latest to suffer an injury, and the D-backs have decided to let swingman Wade Miley fill in rather than turn to one of their top prospects in the minors. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1180101.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1180101.html Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:33:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Many questioned the Arizona Diamondbacks' acquisition of Jason Kubel this winter, but the added outfield depth is key now that star outfielders Chris Young and Justin Upton are both missing time due to injury. Top prospect A.J. Pollock is also being counted on to help with the outfield situation. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1178789.html 2047 The SportsXchange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1178789.html Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:58:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks The Arizona Diamondbacks sent eight more players to minor league camp, leaving 37 still with the big league squad. Things are taking shape for a team that expects to be right in the thick of the National League pennant race. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1170891.html 2047 The Sportys XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1170891.html Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:04:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks 24-year old Gold Glove outfielder Gerardo Parra shifts to utility duty following the Arizona Diamondbacks' acquisition of Jason Kubel. Could Parra be the best fourth outfielder in all of baseball? http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1146786.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1146786.html Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:24:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks No one expected the 2011 Arizona Diamondbacks to play in the postseason to begin with. Certainly, it was a surprise that they were able to force Brewers closer John Axford to blow his first save since April and come within a run of the first NLDS win ever following an 0-2 deficit. But the D-backs fell just shy of completing the ultimate upset due in part to a questionable managerial decision. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114996.html 2047 Keith Glab http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114996.html Sat, 08 Oct 2011 03:19:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks After Kirk Gibson took some heat for his management decisions earlier in the NLDS, the Arizona Diamondbacks skipper made all the right moves in a 10-6 Game 4 victory. From pinch-hitting for his starter in the third innings with a lead to using a rookie right-hander to pitch to Corey Hart with the game on the line, Gibby was golden. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114624.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1114624.html Thu, 06 Oct 2011 23:19:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks Having the NL West all but sewn up, the Arizona Diamondbacks can begin to think about how they would stack up in postseason play. With a pitching rotation that features impressive right-handers Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson, the D-backs can feel good about their chances in any short series, much as they could when they boasted the dominant duo of Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling one decade ago. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1106328.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1106328.html Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:26:00 GMT 1 247 Arizona diamondbacks Rookie left-hander Wade Miley won his first major league game in his second start, pitching six scoreless innings in an 8-1 victory over Washington that extended the D-backs' winning streak to three and enabled them to finish 4-6 on their final East Coast trip of the season. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1099470.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1099470.html Fri, 26 Aug 2011 15:03:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks After most prognosticators forecast the Arizona Diamondbacks to languish in the NL West cellar all year and perhaps compete for the worst record in all of baseball, the ballclub went on an improbable 15-2 May run and no sit six games over .500 and three games in back of the first-place San Francisco Giants. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1085794.html 2047 The Sports XChange http://diamondbacks.scout.com/2/1085794.html Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:31:00 GMT 0 247 Arizona diamondbacks After tossing six shutout innings in his first major league start, what does Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Josh Collmenter do for an encore?

Hinch their jobs in a July 1 shakeup.
