ESPN.com – MLB – Injured Ellis won’t play for A’s this season
Frank Menechino is hurt and Esteban German has the offensive chops to get by in the big leagues. He may not have the defensive chops, but especially in light of the analysis here (which all but gives Menechino the job), German is worth trying to sneak onto your team.
Menechino is a favorite, but he’s never really lived up to the hype from his younger days, when he really wasn’t all that young. Or productive.
