 Oakland management got a shot in the arm today as Tom Butterbaugh announced he would re-sign with the organization at a rate of $7,500,000 per year.
 
 While some have questioned hiring a 35-year-old man, most fans and sportswriters appear receptive as Butterbaugh is still an A list player.
 
 This year Butterbaugh has collected a .270 batting average to date with 142 hits in 526 at-bats, 59 RBIs, 10 home runs and scored 69 times. He has played in 140 games.
