When the Oakland A's made a headline this past off-season by trading for Matt Holliday, there was a belief by many A's fans that he would bring that big bat to the lineup that the A's had been lacking.

This year things change. Davis has been gone and now it seems like Jackson is taking the route that Al Harrington took when leaving Golden State and that is letting ...
