Edwin Encarnacion
There is no room at DH (unless Cust is non-tendered, but even then) or OF. I doubt the A's got him to stick in AAA. One can only assume he'll be at 3B and Kouz is gone. I'm not sure what to think of this. E will give more offense, but his D at 3B is worse than Kouz's. Kouz's D is better, but his offense left a lot to be desired.A's claimed 3B Edwin Encarnacion off waivers from the Blue Jays.
Toronto got nothing for Encarnacion, but he was a non-tender candidate after an uninspiring 2010 season. The 27-year-old is not a good defensive third baseman and could earn close to $6 million via salary arbitration this offseason.
I'm sure the A's aren't done though
