Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Plink! "Darn this Gold Glove"

A's third baseman Eric Chavez has won his fifth consecutive gold glove, the AP reports via SFGate:
'When you have a streak intact, you want to keep it going as long as you possibly can,' said Chavez, who committed 15 errors. 'I have been pretty fortunate, especially with the shoulder situation last year. The past four or five years, I've felt pretty lucky. I don't really expect anything. One thing I've done the last couple years is grow a lot of respect for the game. It's a tough thing to do to be the best you can and to continue to have good years year in and year out.'

On the downside, the A's elected not to pick up first baseman/designated hitter Scott Hatteberg's contract option:
Hatteberg's role diminished with the emergence of rookie first baseman Dan Johnson, called up in late May from Triple-A Sacramento. Johnson batted .275 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs as a rookie.

Hatteberg, 35, hit .256 last season with seven homers and 59 RBIs in 134 games, 78 at DH. He spent the past four seasons in Oakland after playing for the Boston Red Sox in the first seven years of his big league career.
