I’m not surprised that Frank Thomas ended up in Oakland.  Billy Beane appreciates the kind of player Thomas is, so that’s where he’ll a chance to make one last push towards the Hall of Fame.  The deal has a base salary of $500,000, but Thomas can make as much as $2.6 million more if he gets enough plate appearances and his injured foot is fine.

 I was really sad to see Thomas go.  He’s one of the greatest White Sox hitters of all time, which is why I’m going back and taking a look at his stellar career.  I wish the Big Hurt the best of luck, except when he’s facing off against us.
