Who is the longest-tenured player on the A's current 25-man roster?

If you follow A's talk on the radio like I do, it's a well-known fact that Kurt Suzuki was the one, well, before he got traded at the beginning of the month. After I watched another A's victory on TV last night, I'm curious to find out who the current one is and found the answer here. As the article mentioned, he is better than most people (including me) think.

Nostalgic Greenwich Village

During my recent trip back to NYC, I tried looking for all those places I used to hang out often in the village. Found a few of them. Also learned that many have been closed, including one of my favorite coffee house/bar with live music: Kavehaz. It seems that it moved from SOHO to Chelsea after I left and the Chelsea location has also been closed. Here is an article about Kavehaz (scroll to the bottom).
