	Bobby Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Edward (Bobby) Crosby (born January 12, 1980 in Lakewood, California) is a shortstop in Major League Baseball who has played for the Oakland Athletics since 2003.
		In 2004 Crosby took over the Athletics' shortstop duties from 2002 American League MVP Miguel Tejada, who signed with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent.
		Crosby, the son of former major league infielder Ed Crosby, was just a vote shy of being a unanimous pick despite his batting average was the lowest ever for a rookie of the year.

	CBC Sports: Crosby leads AL rookie race
		If the Oakland A' s were to evaluate shortstop Bobby Crosby on statistics alone this season, he'd likely receive an A. But on Monday, he'd settle for ROY, as in rookie of the year.
		Crosby, the Pacific Coast League's top rookie in 2003, changed his batting stance after a shaky first month in the big leagues.
		Crosby quickly established himself as a star-in-waiting, leading all AL rookies in runs (70), home runs, RBIs and slugging percentage (.426).

	Scout.com: The Development of Bobby Crosby
		Bobby Crosby, the 1st round pick (25th overall) of the A’s in the 2001 draft has risen quickly to a starting role in Oakland in place of departed 2002 MVP and fan favorite Miguel Tejada.
		Crosby returned to the Cal League to start 2002 and performed very well in terms of contact and plate discipline (.307 ba, 33 BB/43 K/280 AB) but did not yet show the power the A’s were looking for, though his 17 doubles were promising.
		Bobby Crosby’s development from 1st round draft pick to major league starter has been a success and the A’s are looking to continue this trend with Mark Teahen and Nick Swisher.

	deseretnews.com \| Playing Moneyball: Crosby another A-plus in affordable baseball strategy
		Crosby ($300,500) doesn't have the same impact on the A's lineup as did Miguel Tejada (who left for a six-year, $72 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles).
		But Crosby could be the American League Rookie of the Year, the A's entered the week in first place and their $59.4 million payroll is, ahem, affordable.
		Crosby entered this past spring with a fairly secure grip on the shortstop job but got off to a rocky start when the season began, and he probably reached his nadir May 8.

	Rookie made sure A's weren't caught short when Tejada left
		Crosby said he has known forever that he would be a big-league player, which is one reason he appears so comfortable.

		Ed Crosby said Bobby's 136 goals in an AYSO season is a record that still stands in the Orange County area.
