Reaction to Cespedes signing with Oakland.

Well the first thing that came to mind over here was no way he signed with them, all the news we had heard leading up to this was that a bigger market team was going to land him.  Billy Beane found a way to work his magic again and land one of the bigger available guys out there.  This was a very odd signing for Oakland after they traded a majority of the rotation for younger guys and looked to heading into rebuilding mode.  And with all the issues that surround the team getting a new stadium a lot of the marquee free agents in the past have shied away from signing with Oakland.  The team will now have to figure out who is going to be the everyday CF, Coco Crisp or Cespedes.  Both possess the talent to start in CF and are very capable of moving to a corner spot.  This AL West will now have some of the biggest names from this off season and if all the players live up to their potential should be a very great season out West!  What do you guys think of the signing?
