"Where there is much light, the shadow is deep" - von Goethe

A continuation of a previous post, there were interesting developments today in regards to what the A's may do.

Josh Suchon of the Oakland Tribune interviewed David Forst about the teams position on any trade...

As always, general manager Billy Beane is talking to other teams about possible trades, but assistant GM David Forst said nothing is imminent.
"It's hard for everybody to evaluate their team in May," Forst said. "The same is true for us. We're not exactly sure what we need."

So today, Beane and Macha had their second meeting in about a week's time where they discussed possible roster moves. According to this AP report, Dan Johnson's name was brought up in the meeting. That must mean that unlike last time, the doors that lead to Macha's office must have been open.

I'll be on the look-out for a possible Johnson pinch-runner/hitter move durring tonight's game.

UPDATE: Johnson was in the entire game... :(
