It seems as if Moss is a little redundant in Oakland, the A's tried to give the 1B job to Carter during the season, and will likely try to do the same next year. What would it cost the Red Sox to re-acquire Moss? I would not want to give up any prospect in our top 10 to trade for him, but he COULD help fill a need at 1B or a corner OF spot. Could Aviles or Salty get us Moss? Conceivably Salty would have more value, but the more I think about it, the more and more overrated he becomes in my mind. I think at the very least Moss could be the LH half of a strong platoon at 1B or LF/RF.

Nice story on Brenden Moss. Our prospect, later traded to the Pirates, who languished in anonimity for a few years until Mr. Moneyball took a flyer on him.
It would only take money to get him. He is finishing his one year obligation to the Athletics.

He signed a minor league deal, and does not have the service time to be a free agent, doesn't that mean he is under Oakland's control? COT's does not list him as a free agent, but that does not mean he isn't, is he a minor league free agent after all the years spent in the minor leagues?

The only contract information I could find was in rotoworld. It has a one liner showing him arbitration eligible for 2011 to 2013.
Seems to me, though that this is the kind of player Billy Beane would want to hold on to. A Scott Hatteburg type.

I believe Moss is making almost nothing (well, near minimum, which is a pretty nice salary for us schlubs) and is under Oakland's control for another 3 years.
