Billy Beane’s style is to downplay things before, out of nowhere, there’s a rat-a-tat of activity, players flying from one team to another. This is the period when Beane really shines. He can maximize players’ value as well as anyone in the game. He’s got bullpen pieces that teams want, such as Ryan Madson, Sean Doolittle, and John Axford. He’s got desirable positional players such as pending free agent Josh Reddick (on the disabled list), a power lefthanded bat and quality defender in right field. Coco Crisp, Jed Lowrie, and Stephen Vogt can also help a contender.
