Bluedude Sportstalk SPORT SHORTS Take 153...A's Cuckoo for COCO CRISP...D-BACKS grab ARROYO...GONZO throws MATTY ICE under the I-85 #SwinginAs #DBacks #ATLFalcons

The Oakland Athletics take care of some much-needed Clubhouse Business as they resign CF and Spark Plug in CF Coco Crisp. The Deal is reported through numerous Media Outlets to be 324 Games for $22.5 Million. The A's CF hit .261 in 2013 with 22 bombs , 66 ribbies, and had 21 thefts. He is the Lead-Off and Table Setter for that Athletics Offense that has some pop in the Middle of that Lineup.    

The Arizona Diamondbacks with all the chips starting to fall looking for a quality starter grabs Red Legs RHP Bronson Arroyo. The deal is reported through media outlets around two seasons for $23.5 million as he had plenty of other suitors led by the Orioles. A career 138-127 W-L and a 14-12 with a 3.79 ERA and 124 K's in 2013 he will definitely help the D-Backs relatively young rotation led by Patrick Corbin and Wade Miley.

Switching to the Gridiron Retried Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez of the "Peach Drop 3" reportedly threw Falcons QB Matt Ryan right under I-75. Gonzalez was asked if Ryan was an Elite QB and Gonzo responded with, " Matt is an excellent QB...but not an Elite...He will get there but has some learning to do". He said and I think Gonzo is right but we he had said that under Contract headed back to Falcons Camp 2k14? Ryan is a Top 10 but he is in the back of the Top 10 and he is right there close to the Elite in my opinion.
