...team like Oakland to compete, but GM Billy Beane has been nothing short of brilliant, and he has no room for error. How much will the pitchers he's devloped like Barry Zito be worth on the open market? Denny Neagle just got $10 million per year. Hell, Darren Dreifort, who in my estimation is nothing better than a third starter, just commanded $11 million...
