OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics landed their veteran shortstop in Stephen Drew. Current shortstop Cliff Pennington and the rest of the As players found out by ballpark announcement late in the game. The As acquired Drew from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday in exchange for minor league infielder Sean Jamieson. The trade, announced by Oakland before the seventh inning of Monday nights game with the Minnesota Twins, reunites Drew with former D-backs manager Bob Melvin -- in his first full season as As skipper. "Itll be refreshing and a new start," Drew said. "Its a good feeling to go over there and still be competing (for the post-season)." Drew is expected to join Oakland in time to play the middle game of the series against the Twins on Tuesday. He recently returned after being sidelined for nearly a year with a fractured right ankle. He sat out 137 games in all. The 29-year-old Drew is batting .193 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 40 games since coming back June 26. "Coming back, Ive been hitting the ball well but havent been finding any holes," he said. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said last month it was "highly unlikely" the team would trade Drew this season, saying he hadnt received an offer for either Drew or Justin Upton that would improve the Arizona club. As GM Billy Beane must have changed his mind. "We must be very persuasive," Oakland assistant GM David Forst said, noting the As will see how the remainder of the season goes with Drew before making any decisions about his status with the club for 2013. "It was more than likely he would have tested free agency so we probably would have only had his services for another six weeks," Towers said. "I have no doubt in my mind that hell make the As a much better ballclub." Oakland, a surprise playoff contender this season with a cast of moving parts and new faces, had been looking for a consistent regular in the middle of the infield given the struggles and injuries of Pennington and Adam Rosales. Pennington is hitting .198 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 92 games. That includes batting 6 for 29 (.207) in 10 games since returning from the disabled list Aug. 7 after missing time with elbow tendinitis -- his first career DL stint. "He plays the same position, so I guess well see what happens," Pennington said. "I was sitting there in the dugout and they announced it. I have no idea what those guys (in the front office) think. Im going to try to pretend I do." During the 2007 post-season playing for Melvin and the NL West champions, Drew batted .387 with two home runs and four RBIs in seven games, including .294 (5 for 17) against the Colorado Rockies in the NL championship series. "I do know Stephen and hes a good player," Melvin said, preferring to wait until Tuesday to elaborate on the move. "Hell be a good fit here." Drew is coming off the severe ankle injury and has a $10 million mutual option for next season. If the option is not picked up, Drew receives a $1.35 million buyout. "I think hes probably recovered better than I thought," Towers said. "We have a lot of middle infielders and its tough to spread the reps and at bats among three middle infielders." The As will make corresponding moves to their 40-man and 25-man rosters upon Drews arrival. He is currently in an 0-for-15 stretch and is batting .069 (2 for 29) over his past nine games. Drew homered in consecutive games Aug. 5-7. Second baseman Jemile Weeks said the announcement was "surprising to everybody." "Hes a good player, so if he comes along and jumps in and fits in and helps us win, were all for it," Weeks said. "I guess theyre trying to make a push, theyre trying to improve what they feel they need to improve. Theyre trying to head in a certain direction. Obviously they have that vision in their heads and thats what theyre trying to show right now." The 23-year-old Jamieson, Oaklands 17th-round draft pick out of Canisius College in 2011, was batting .234 with 10 home runs, 49 RBIs and 25 stolen bases in 118 games for Single-A Burlington. http://www.authentic-cowboy.com/elite-orlando-scandrick-cowboys-jersey/.
