Is it time again for the genius known as Billy Beane to move another star pitcher? Sources say yes.

Beane has been in talks with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers. If Street is indeed traded, then that would be the third pitcher dealt by the A's in a two week span.

Street has blown five saves in twenty-two chances which, if you are a closer, is an average number.

Street is a great pitcher, but is inconsistent. He won the Rookie of the Year award in 2005.

If the A's want to go young then they should trade Street to the Dodgers, who would give up top prospects for him due to the fact that their closer is out for six weeks.

Street could also be traded with second baseman Mark Ellis to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Matt Holiday.

Look for Billy Beane to deliver again, as he makes more moves to create a team for the future.
