A's trade Blevins to Nats for Minor league outfielder Burns

Another great year. Blevins best years are behind him. A's get a kid with no power but who hits .300, walks more than he K's and steals a ton of bases. In other words, he's basically going to be a perfect 4th outfielder and spot leadoff guy. He'll be able to fill in for an injured player, take over the leadoff spot if the A's have nobody, pinch run in a close game. Blevins is easily replaceable.

He might project as a future replacement for Coco down the line too sense he'll be under club control, Beane might flip Gentry at some point if Burns pans out. It's interesting they added a couple of speed players so far this off season, maybe BoMel will have the club running more.
