I’ve noticed that a lot of people are interested in what Tommy is doing at the MLB level so I’ve decided to start a Tommy Everidge Fan Club on my site for fans and friends of Tommy Everidge to keep up on how he is doing. I’m not sure how large the Tommy following is but I do know that there are quite a few of my friends that want to know all the details.


Feel free to leave comments about Tommy at the end of each article. Some of you might be A’s fans. Some might be friends of Tommy growing up. Others might have played baseball with him or just knew him in college. Either way, it always nice to see someone you know realize their dream and be successful at it.


Hears to you Tommy for doing what the rest of us weren’t able to do. I hope to see you playing first base for the Oakland A’s for years to come. Congratulations buddy, it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Everyone from Sonoma State is pulling for you. I’d also like to congratulate Tommy Everidge on hitting his first Major League Homerun. Let’s hope there are plenty more where that came from. It took the big fellow until his 12th game to take one out but he finally got it.

These are a few guys to keep an eye on as the second half of the season winds down. They may have already been called up or they might be on the verge of being called up. Either way, you need to keep them in mind. These guys might be worth rostering especially if you are in a keeper league. Part 1 will cover players that have been recently called up and are already starting to perform. Part two will cover players that might be called up soon or when the rosters expand in September. Part 3 will cover players that have been called up or have been playing for a bit but haven’t quite performed up to their potential just yet.

Garrett Jones, Pittsburgh Pirates 1B/OF- If you haven’t picked him up already, GO OUT AND GET HIM RIGHT NOW!!! In 30 games he has a .299 BA, 11 HR, 18 RBI, 19 Runs and 5 SB. Extrapolate that over a 162 game season and you get 59 HR, 97 RBI, 103 Runs and 27 SB. Those are numbers that anyone can use in any type of league. The guy simply mashes the ball and would have a ton more RBI if any of the Pirates could get on base. Read the rest of this entry »

I know a 1 for 6 night with a double and 1 RBI doesn’t sound like much of a debut for a rookie and that is exactly what Tommy Everidge did in his MLB debut with the Oakland Athletics. But, if you take into consideration the circumstances, it was a pretty impressive double. Two outs in the 9th inning facing Jonathan Papelbon All-Star closer for the Boston Red Sox, down by three runs. First pitch fastball laced off the Green Monster, about a foot shy from being a homerun.

I knew Everidge in college so this is kind of a proud moment for me. I watched Everidge tear up Division 2 pitching at Sonoma State and I was ecstatic when the Oakland Athletics drafted him in the 10th round of the 2004 draft. The funny thing is that Tommy grew up a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan. Either way he’s up in the Majors and we should be able to get a pretty good look at him. Daric Barton was put on the 15 Day DL and Everidge was called up to take his place. Now, on July 9th I wrote keep an eye on him on because he could be making his MLB debut pretty soon.

Most of you have probably never even heard of this guy but he is quietly working his way into the future plans of a MLB team. He was drafted in the 10th round of the 2004 Draft out of a small school by the name of Sonoma State, located in Rhonert Park, Ca. He was drafted as a first baseman but almost immediately was placed behind a number of prospects that were thought of as being better. He didn’t let this get to him and he kept doing whatever it took to become a better ballplayer. He even started playing a little third base and if he can prove that he can handle the hot corner on a regular basis, that could be his ticket to the show this year. This player’s name is Tommy Everidge and he is currently playing for the Sacramento Rivercats, the AAA affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. Read the rest of this entry »
