The Red Sox may be catching Oakland at a good time. The A's have six players on the disabled list right now, including three outfielders they had expected to play big roles this season.
Bobby Kielty was the latest to be placed on the DL, going on the list today. He joins fellow outfielders Mark Kotsay and Milton Bradley. Wheaton College's Chris Denorfia, another outfielder whom Oakland obtained recently from Cincinnati, already was on the DL. And Nick Swisher, another outfield candidate, is nursing a tight hamstring and is not in the starting lineup.
How desperate are the A's for outfielders? The other day Oakland swung a deal with Atlanta for Ryan Langerhans, who was batting .068 -- 3 for 44, with 1 double and 1 RBI in 20 games.
The A's have two pitchers on the DL as well -- Rich Harden and Esteban Loaiza.
