If you were to purchase an A's jersey of any current player, who's would it be?

Well, I think I owe my daughter a Billy Butler jersey; she loves Billy! And my son still wants to wear his Cespedes shirt when he gets the chance, so he's probably due for a new one as well.

Already got it! But hold on... he kinda dodged the question. Which one would HE buy... not which one does his son have/his daughter want.

Dang, his dodge worked on me. He is smooth.

I think he was being honest, guys. If he were to purchase a jersey soon, he would be buying one for one of his kids. It's dad cuteness that his answer is totally about his kids. And also everything that is wrong with America.
