Frank Thomas Signs With A's

[Caleb Cattivera]

Weird. that's all I have to say.

He doesnt belong in any other uniform.

[asianxcore]

he doesnt deserve a uniform. over-rated che che che che che

[Scott Weber]

Now? Yes. In his prime? Not really.

[weezer182]

yea thats weird to see but i wouldnt be surprised if he helped the a's

[RockVocalPower]

Another example of a guy who needs to hang it up and not tarnish his great career.

[LeftWideOpen]

Another guy who will have to face the scrutiny of the steroid era when his HOF ballot comes around.

[Drew Beringer]

Damn, that will be weird.

actually, i feel bad for the guy. people get so swept up in saying he sucks, they forget that he was pretty fantastic back in the day.

[PunkVideoGuys]

sigh...still my favorite player. I wish he could get one more .290+ 35 HR+ and 100RBI+ season. I would give almost anything to see it.

i think the talks of him being with the a's have been going on since before the world series was over, i never heard his name mentioned with any other team

I wish he could too.

[Sureshot182]

he is the big hurt. that is a great name.

[NetNerdsRevenge]

how long and how much money?

[apoemtothedead]

how long and how much money?
1 year. 500,000 guaranteed, 2.6 million more possible

Thomas could be of great use off the bench, even in a DH role. The guy can still hit the ball. He hasn't lost this quality, only his ability to do other things. For this amount of money, dont be surprised if he out values his contract. I like this deal.

Thomas'll be the starting DH, no doubt. It's a great move.

Even if he is a bust, it's still only 500,000, which in this day, is what you pay a backup infielder. I'd rather take a chance with Thomas than take a 2nd backup infielder onto the roster. Especially since if he gets hurt, that backup infielder can be brought up.

[ActorInThisPlay]

it'll be weird to see him in another uniform...

[NetNerdsRevenge]

It wont be weird to see him crush in Macaffe. (did I spell it right?)

he and curt schilling win come back player of the year.

Hell if I know. I still call it The Net.

But yeah, second deck shots could be plentiful this year.

[bigmike]

whoever he plays for, he's still a beast of a man though.
and now that he's out of the central, i'd love for him to get another .290/35/100 season.

[Trainsaw]

i like the A's but that will be weird to see him somewhere else
