Last week, I asked opinions on what I should do with Oakland A's outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Travis Buck. Both had been recalled from AAA on the same day, and I was without a clear path towards getting them on my active roster. The rational actions were to wait for spots to open or to pursue a trade. I did both. The first opening on my roster resulted from the wrist injury to DH David Ortiz. I...

OAKLAND, Calif. -- In three years as Arizona State teammates, Jeff Larish outhomered Travis Buck, 48-19. But when Larish and Buck had crucial back-to-back at-bats Wednesday, it was Buck who showed the power.

My AL-Only team, currently tied for 8th place, has a dilemna. I recently claimed a $1 Andy Marte off the waiver wire and activated a $2 Eric Chavez. On Friday, The Oakland A's recalled outfielders Travis Buck and Carlos Gonzalez. Both players are $5 and on my reserve. The dilemna? I have no obvious place to activate either Buck or Gonzalez. Due to position-eligibility issues, I can waive a corner...

I woke up to a ton of small transactions this morning, so let's lead with them. In MLBTR-friendly transactions, the A's designated Lenny DiNardo and Kevin Melillo for assignment. The team made a bevy of other moves, though, recalling Travis Buck, Brad Ziegler, and Carlos Gonzalez, placing Joey Devine, Mike Sweeney, and Ryan Sweeney on the 15-day DL, and activating Kiko Calero and Eric Chavez from the...

DH Frank Thomas to be placed on the disabled list. Prior to the actual activation of 3B Eric Chavez, the most likely player to be recalled was OF Travis Buck. When he is recalled, will Buck recover the doubles stroke he had last season along with his plate discipline or will he continue to be the player he has been so far in 2008? So far, Buck has a slash stat line of 345/430/460 in AAA Sacramento...

Travis Buck has turned things around after an awful start. Okay, I get it. Toronto sweeps the defending Champion BoSox and then gets swept by an Oakland team expected to be among the AL’s weakest clubs this season. Now Toronto travels to Texas, who is off to a good start, and Baltimore, which is somehow the [...]
