A's Going To Disney World!

At least Orlando (Cabrera) is coming to them, for 1 year $4m.

This should end the Bobby Crosby era at short. Although I guess it was really the Bobby Crosby, Bobby Crosby/Marco Scutaro, and Bobby Crosby/Donnie Murphy era, as Bobby Crosby himself could never stay on the field. This is certainly an upgrade as Orlando Cabrera has consistently been worth around 3-3.5 wins and Crosby at his uninjured best was not even worth that much.

This is another solid addition to Oakland's ongoing successful offseason. Adding Giambi, Holliday, Cabrera to replace Crosby, Daric Barton/Dan Johnson, Emil Brown will clearly improve the lineup. The Angels on the other hand replaced Teixeira with Abreu and K-Rod with Fuentes. Both not bad replacements, but clearly not improvements like the A's have made.

I'll hold off my season predictions when all the rosters are fully set, but as of now I'd have to give the A's the edge o winning this division. They were probably close to even before, but O-Cab gives them about 2.5 wins putting them over the edge.
