Jack Hana-what?

A's Jack Hannahan is a sleeper INF who can hit, who was traded for another nobody (okay, a 27-year prospect who isn't on the DET roster). Hannahan looks like he can get on base and he isn't a bad fielder (saw that play when he dove across the 3rd base foulline and threw across the diamond in the first game?)|.

A's made a subtle but smart trade with this guy. Whenever you can trade a minor leaguer for someone who is worthy to be playing everyday, that's money. When he was called up last season, he put up decent number you can expect from a 26-th man. If Crosby keep hitting .226, Hannahan may be tried at SS when Chavez comes back (someday, someday). A's will be smart to find a position for Hannahan. At this point, he is a worthy utility INF on the roster.
