I don't think Buck is in the long term vision and Davis is a nice player but not consistent enough. They really need a couple of big time power hitters.

The thing is the A's have Sheets and Chavy coming off the books this off season, which clears up a good chunk of money for a power bat. I think the real problem is convincing hitters to play their home games in the coliseum. Failed miserably with Holliday.
