Travis Buck makes the A's roster

Just saw over at AN that Travis Buck is going to be on the A's 25 man roster, presumably as a regular corner outfielder.

Interesting move by Beane...Buck has all of 238 plate appearances above A-ball, as he split last season between Stockton (where he posted an OPS of 1003) and Midland (where he posted an 848 OPS).

Presumably, he'll split corner outfield time with Shannon Stewart and Bobby Kielty, with Todd Walker spelling Nick Swisher and Mike Piazza at 1B and DH, respectively.

They seem to be pushing Buck awfully fast...it will be interesting to see how this plays out...

Keilty
Keilty is only useful against LHP: .299/.382/.518.  Against RHP he has a line of .230/.300/.350.  When you think of it, you don't want Walker, Keilty, or Stewart to be getting too many AB's.  If Kotsay goes back in a timely fashion, getting Buck some AB's won't hurt the team too much.
