Sure, he has power, but his fielding is a huge liability (yes, this applies to Crosby, as well, but I'm in the camp that's abstaining judgment on the Cros till the season ends--though I wouldn't have him on my fantasy team if I played fantasy). That said, Suzuki is a G ... and has been relatively successful offensively during his month-long tenure in the 510. He struggles at calling a game, but will learn well from manager Geren, who is a former catcher. You're headline is misleading. It should say "Suzuki promoted IN Oakland," since he already was called up. I don’t think Furmaniak can cut it in the big leagues.

Kendall was one of the big reasons that the pitching staff has "matured" so quickly. You can pretty much bet that when a whole staff is outperforming their expectations, a lot of credit goes to the catcher. It looks like the A's are getting young again. Don't be surprised to see Crosby, Harden or even Kotsay hit the trading block. We’ve (I’m part of the A’s orginization now) given up the season.
