Athletics shortstop Bobby Crosby still sees himself as an everyday starter. With that said, Crosby is trying to do what's best for the team. "That's still what I see myself as and what I hope to be at some point," said Crosby. "Whether it's this year or next year or whenever, it doesn't matter. My feelings haven't changed that much." Crosby is in the final year of his contract, and has asked for a trade if possible. "When the moves went down and they signed Nomar and Cabrera, at that point I wanted to be traded because I wanted to play like any player would," Crosby said. "It's unfortunate some guys have gone down. But at the same time, it's given me an opportunity to play a little bit more than probably I expected."
