Snider and Francisco plus pitching prospect puts the A's outfield back into respectability.

That is a pretty reasonable line of thought. If Snider can find some consistency then he has a chance to be a pretty darn good player. He has a great swing and seems to generate some nice power with minimal effort and body movement.
I wonder if it is possible for AA to get Gio Gonzalez and still stay in the Darvish sweepstakes. I know there are pretty mixed opinions of Darvish, but I still believe that we will make some sort of a play for him. Adding those two could help us to challenge for playoffs right away.
