Cardenas that is. oakland is going to keep him as long as the can at short, though he defense isn’t up to par. Cardenas that is.

I would re-swap Blanton for Outman in a heartbeat. Cardenas will start hitting in AAA. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Athletics move him, considering their abundance in second basemen. I think you're right -- Spencer should be moved up to AA soon, but I'm not terribly familiar with Oakland's Minor League system, so there may be a reason he hasn't been moved up yet.

Though i'd rather have the WS ring, the a's haul is proving to be very good. Outman, outside of innings pitched, has been probably better than blanton so far, cardenas was raking in AA ball, but has sucked in AAA. Spencer has 9 HRs already, im just not sure why they are not being aggressive with him. The Blanton trade is really swinging the A’s way.
