And even if the Yankees were offering Wang, the last thing Oakland needs is starting pitching.

Rich Harden
Barry Zito
Danny Haren
Joe Blanton
Kirk Saarloos
Dan Meyer
John Rheineicker
Ryan Glynn

With the exception of Glynn, all of these guys have much more potential than Wang. They're set through 08.

Everyone always needs more pitching. A's have always gone deep in that catergory.

Why Wang? It's not like he's Mark Prior or some amazing pitching prospect. Every starter on the A's staff is better than Wang and they have at least 2 AAA guys that are better. Not only better, but younger. Wang is like 26. Not that that's old, but A's have much better pitchers that are 24 and younger. Wang is MLB-ready now and there's no place in the rotation for him. Oakland have 8 people to fill 5 spots in 2006, there is no need for a 9th who has no shot anyway. Wang and 2 hitting prospects is still not worth Kotsay.
