the big three, dismantled

Wow. Billy Beane better know what he's doing.

Three days ago, he traded Tim Hudson to the Braves. Just today, he traded Mark Mulder to the Cardinals. That leaves the A's with Zito, Harden, and...umm...Redman? Is he still around?

If this works out, I'll gladly admit that Beane's a genius, but I can't stop thinking about three other guys from Oakland...Mullin, Hardaway, and Richmond. Let's think for a second; how've the Warriors done in the 15+ years since Run TMC?
