Player Notes
September 13, 2008
Frank Thomas will not require surgery on his injured right quadriceps, as there is no tear in the area where the muscle connects with the knee, just scar tissue breakdown and tendinitis, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Thomas intends to play at least one more year, and he'd like to come back to Oakland. "I've made my money, now it's about fun," Thomas said. "I still have some things I want to accomplish. My goal is to come back here, and we'll see how it works out - that would be my first choice. Knowing I'll be healthy is good. I'm ready to get this behind me and gear up for next year."

Our View:The Big Hurt appeared in just 71 games this year due to injury, and he was ineffective in those contests. He could have AL-only value if he lands a DH gig somewhere.
September 4, 2008
Frank Thomas will not return this season, as he was placed on the 60-day disabled list, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:The likely future Hall of Famer did not have one of his most productive seasons, and it is clear that the end of his career is coming soon.
September 1, 2008
Frank Thomas could need surgery to deal with his right quad injury, and it does not look like he will return to the A's this season, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:Thomas was placed on the DL Saturday, and will undergo more tests soon. He did not provide fantasy owners much in his 246 at-bats, with just 8 home runs, 30 RBI and a .240 batting average.
August 30, 2008
Frank Thomas has been placed on the 15-day DL due to a strained right groin, according to the AP.

Our View:Thomas has been hitting well as of late with six hits over his last three games, and it is unfortunate he is forced to his second stint on the DL this season.
August 21, 2008
Frank Thomas was ejected from Thursday's game in the sixth inning for arguing balls and strikes.

Our View:Thomas ended his night 0-2 with a strikeout. Thomas' struggles continue as he is now hitting .231 on the season.
