The A's really seem to have a knack for finding bats out of nowhere. Soon to be 29 year old career minor leaguer Carlos Cortes, with just 99 career PA (all last season) coming into the year, has been on absolute fire. He's slashing .377/.433/.689 with just four strikeouts in 67 PA, almost entirely going against righties. It will be interesting to see how he's deployed now that Rooker ( who had been struggling) is back from injury 

Dude is only 5'7" too.  His Savants page will burn your retinas.

Likely, but there was definitely something else at play in Boston other than just the losing (given how many were let go) and Preston was likely eager to get his dad in the manager role.
