There are a number of lower-tier options available, however, and it seems likely the A's will target someone like Cubs right hander Jason Hammel, or, you guessed it, Brandon McCarthy. Hammel is on a one-year, $6 million deal, and has shown tremendous promise as recently as 2012 when he was worth 2.6 wins in just 118 innings. He's regained form in 2014, posting a sub-3.00 with solid peripherals (see below). McCarthy is in the second year of a two-year, $15.5 million deal, and although his surface stats look like garbage, they pass the smell test. He owns an impressive 2.98 xFIP, which normalizes his HR/FB % in the form of an expected ERA. They're both projected to be worth just under a win for the rest of the season, but Hammel will have a much higher price tag. http://www.athleticsnation.com/2014/6/26/5819154/trade-deadline-athletics-start ing-pitching-brandon-mccarthy-jason-hammel --
