Oakland fans are beginning to talk of a new weapon in Vancouver, one that is likely to hurt opponents in a big way and serve the franchise well for generations.

They’re calling it "The Six Headed Monster."

The Six Headed Monster consists of:

* James Shull (4th round Cal Poly – seen left)
* Trey Shields (9th round U Alabama)
* Brad Davis (14th Rd Lewis and Clark)
* Steve Bryant (20th RD HI)
* Michael Madsen (21st round OSU)
* Brad Kilby (29th RD SJSU)

These draftees are showing outrageous stuff early, and their combined stats (thanks to Athletics Nation for pointing it out) are: 19.2 IP, 12 H, 25 K’s, 3 BB’s, 2-1 win/loss record, and 2 saves – so far.

For mine, the most impressive to date has been the guy least expected to make an impact – 29th rounder Brad Kilby. The big closer has looked rock solid thus far, and his compadres aren’t too shabby either.

Now, if only the offense could start working…
