		Karros, 36, is expected to face primarily left-handed pitching, sharing time with first baseman Scott Hatteberg and designated hitter Erubiel Durazo, both left-handed hitters.
		Karros, speaking from Manhattan Beach, Calif., said he chose the A's because of the team's proximity to his Southern California home and their playoff chances.
		But Karros said any initial concerns of playing in a "football stadium" were abated by his former Cubs and Dodgers teammate Mark Guthrie, who enjoyed his season with the A's in 2001.

		Karros responded the way you'd expect him to respond, which is to say, not very well.
		Karros was once a hero to me - a precursor to Paul Lo Duca, a grinder working his way up the system, becoming a bright light in a particularly dismal season, 1992.
		Karros would have to go about 0 for 8 before he reaches mediocre, and 0 for the series before reaching useless.

		Eric Karros quickly realized how serious the injury was when he could not get out of the van when he arrived in Vero Beach, Florida, without help.
		Karros does not believe in making excuses for bad performances, so he never used his back injury as a cause of his struggles.

		Karros is having the season he is because he's spending a large chunk of his time facing lefties, who he hit very well the past few seasons despite hitting below average for a first baseman overall.
		Karros has put up a respectable.778 OPS against RHP this year, but we are only talking about a measly 123 AB.
		Karros, whether or not this is an anomoly, or he is actually improved later in his career, has been hitting extremely well, and has more PAs than Choi, and an average that is over 100 points higher.

		Karros was signed this year to spell Hatteberg against left-handed pitching.
		The upshot is that expecting Karros to rake lefties at a.904 OPS clip might not be a realistic expectation, as the statistical evidence indicates we should see him start to regress back toward something in the.730 range.
		Karros can’t hit right-handed pitching to save his life, but he still rakes lefties.

	The Clark & Addison Chronicle: Eric Karros Starting Against Steve Trachsel Today
		Dusty Baker is setting an unfortunate precedent today, starting Eric Karros against righthander Steve Trachsel, instead of Hee Seop Choi.
		But whatever Karros has done against Trachsel during his career, he has been well below average against righties for at least a couple of years now.
		But, if Baker has his heart set of getting Karros into tht lineups at times, I am pleased he is using some logic instead of just picking days/pitchers at random.

		But again, if the choice is Karros or Galaragga, Im taking Karros or no one- but only if Karros is relegated to spot DH start against tough LHP and some PH duties.
		Looking at Karros' OBP over the last four seasons I don't think the Red Sox are even interested in him.
