The Athletics made several attempts at trying to land 3B Adrian Beltre, but eventually fell short as Texas ended up signing the third-baseman to a six-year, $96 million deal.  The A’s were left with Kevin Kouzmanoff as their starting third-baseman after missing out on Beltre.

Kouzmanoff was coming off a down year in 2010, hitting just .247/.283/.396 with 16 HR and 71 RBIs. The year before that, in 2009, Kouzmanoff hit .255/.302/.420 with 18 HR and 88 RBIs while with the Padres.

This season, Kouzmanoff has not gotten off to a good start. Through 14 games, Kouzmanoff has a .182/.188/.318 line with one homer and five RBIs. Defensively he’s even worse, as his four errors lead all active third-basemen. (more…)
