		<title>A&#8217;s Trevor Cahill &amp; Gio Gonzalez Next To Be Locked Up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For most of this season, the Oakland Athletics have seen strong performances out of their young pitchers, and while the A&#8217;s have Brett Anderson locked up for four years&#8212;possibly six with options&#8212;they still have work to do with their other young players.  Guys like Trevor Cahill, who has thrust himself into CY Young conversations with his performance this season, has molded himself as one of top young arms in the league.
