Hope and Crosby

Tim Kurkjian pens a piece on the players facing the most pressure this year. Number 9 on his list is Bobby Crosby, the A's replacement for Miguel Tejada. Crosby had a great year with the Sacramento Rivercats, putting up a .939 OPS (.395 OBP and .544 slugging). His batting on the team was only exceeded by Graham Koonce, who is five years older. Crobsy is 24 years old, entering the prime of his career. I'm a little suspect of PCL numbers, so I would guess he won't put up a .939 OPS. But if he plays well defensively and has a high OBP, he'll be fine. Can wait to see how he does on the road. :-)
