                Catchers – Derek Norris (.385 – pre/ARB) – John Jaso (.265 – ARB/1)

                                2013-24 Prospects – none

                Outfielders – Seth Smith (.405 – ARB/2) – Covelli Crisp (.345 – FA/2014) – Yoeniis Cespedes (.200 - $10.5 thru 2015) – Shane Peterson (.143 – pre/ARB) – Josh Reddick (.109 – pre/ARB)

                                2013-14 Prospects – Michael Choice (2014) – Grant Green (2013)

                DH – Chris Young (.179 – FA/2014)

                Starters – A.J. Griffin (2.25 – pre/ARB) – Bartolo Colon (3.32 – FA/2014) – Tom Milone (3.86 – pre/ARB) – Brett Anderson (5.95 – FA/2014) – Jarrod Parker (10.80 – pre/ARB)

                                2013-14 Prospects – Dan Staily (2013) – Sonny Gray (2014)

                Observation – Oakland is off and running to the playoffs basically without a decent bat at DH. That alone could create a temporary home for Buck for the remainder of the 2013 season.

                Lots of prospects to look at. Choice… Green… Gray… pick anyone and I’m a happy man.
