So much for my prediction. I thought the A’s - and Frank himself - would pass on bringing the Big Hurt back to Oakland. But he is an Oakland A again, and he was in the lineup in today’s trouncing of the Twins and went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored.

The roster may get dicey as guys get healthy, but you can’t do much better than the league minimum for a future Hall of Famer. Welcome back, Frank!
