re: Jon Lester traded to A's

I just heard Cespedes was the only guy who really hit great pitching for the A's though.. Just looking at the post-season last year.

In the ALDS
Game 1 - Against Sherzer he was responsible for the only 2 runs they scored driving in 2 with a homer and going 2 for 4.
Game 2- Against Verlander he went 2 for 4 again and scored the lone run for the A's to win 1-0.
Game 4- Against Sherzer again he went 2 for 5 with 2 RBI's
Game 5- Against Verlander he went 1 for 3 and the rest of the team struggled mightily to hit. Especially Donaldson.

It would be something if the Angels caught the A's for the division.. This move getting Lester is just as important in them winning the division, as it is in gaining a post-season pitching starter.

I'm rooting for the A's in the American League. This is going to be fun seeing how the trade winds up impacting the race.
