For Donaldson
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/jose-calderon-lakers-Jersey-c-23/ , the A's will receive third baseman Brett Lawrie, right-hander Kendall Graveman, left-hander Sean Nolin and minor league shortstop Franklin Barreto.
Donaldson told the San Francisco Chronicle that he was playing video games when his agent texted him about the trade.
"I'm so shocked," Donaldson told the newspaper. "I just got off the phone with [general manager] Billy Beane, and I guess they got an offer that they couldn't resist. I'm definitely a little emotional about it. Oakland is my home. At the end of the day, it's a business, as much as it hurts emotionally. The guys in that clubhouse are my brothers."
Beane considers both pitchers ready for the majors.
"They had been pretty persistent, and we were pretty adamant that wasn't something we were willing to talk about," Beane said of dealing Donaldson. "We wouldn't have done the deal unless it addressed now and the future, and they were able to do that. This deal in our minds addresses a little bit of everything. It got pretty serious the last 48 hours. They were reluctant to give up all four players

According to wins above replacement, only Mike Trout has been more valuable than Donaldson over the past two seasons.
Pitchers Expected To Dominate 2014 Amateur Draft - RealGM Wiretap
Pitching is the name of the game as June's First-Year Player Draft approaches.
In 2011, the first four picks were pitchers and seven-straight were taken after Matt Bush went No. 1 overall in 2004. Jim Callis writes that this year could set a new record for pitchers drafted in the first round. The current standard is 20, which came in 2001.
"There could be eight or nine pitchers taken in the top 10," a scouting director with an American League team said. "How many can go in the top 15? Twelve? Thirteen? There are so many arms. This is a deeper pool of players than last year, especially with pitchers."
The consensus top four prospects in the Draft, to be held June 5-7, are all pitchers.
5-HTP - 5-Hydroxytryptophan 5-HTP The neurotransmitter, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP) is a compound created in the body which is used to regulate serotonin levels in brain and central nervous system. 5-HTP is a substance that is made in the body which is converted into serotonin, a brain chemical messenger. Serotonin is an important brain chemical involved in mood
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/jerry-west-lakers-Jersey-c-16/ , behavior, appetite, and sleep. Serotonin is also involved in impulse control. For instance, low serotonin levels may lead to addictive behavior such as gambling or other habits caused by weak will power. Serotonin is known as 5-HT, or 5-hydroxytryptamine, and is found in many places in the body particularly body cells, gastrointestinal system, and the brain. It influences many normal brain activities and also regulates the activity of other neurotransmitters. Having adequate levels of serotonin instills a feeling of relaxation, calmness, and mild euphoria (extreme happiness). Low levels of serotonin
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/james-worthy-lakers-Jersey-c-15/ , serotonin deficiency syndrome, leads to depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and many other problems The body produces its own supply of 5-HTP from tryptophan, an amino acid found in high-Protein foods such as chicken, fish, beef, and dairy products. Any healthy diet should include tryptophan-rich sources such as these. Most of the 5-HTP produced in the body comes from its manufacture in the intestines from tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid; that is
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/jamaal-wilkes-lakers-Jersey-c-9/ , the body does not have the capacity to synthesize it. All the supply of tryptophan must be gotten through foods that contain protein. 5-HTP has attracted a good deal of attention lately because of its ability to increase pain tolerance, induce sleep, and affect how hunger is perceived. 5-HTP may help slow the aging process and protect the body from illness by protecting the body from damage by substances called free radicals unstable, toxic molecules. Serotonin is used to make melatonin; taking 5-HTP may help achieve some of the same benefits as melatonin, such as treating jet lag, depression, and insomnia. There is some evidence that 5-HTP can replenish the supply of the pain-relieving molecules called endorphins. Studies have shown that low levels of endorphins are associated with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, stress, and depression. In studies
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/jabari-brown-lakers-Jersey-c-20/ ,5-HTP has been proven effective in the treatment of carbohydrate cravings and binge eating, chronic headaches, depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, anxiety, and panic disorders. But 5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet. The human body manufactures 5-HTP from L-tryptophan, a natural amino acid found in most dietary proteins. However, eating food that contains L-tryptophan does not significantly increase 5-HTP levels. Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African medicinal plant. This plant extract is a natural source of 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP). Supplementing your diet with 5-HTP helps to maintain the levels of serotonin in your brain and is used by many people to gently lift mood
http://www.officiallakersauthority.com/elgin-baylor-lakers-Jersey-c-14/ , reduce anxiety and induce normal sleep. USES & BENEFITS OF 5-HTP Promising research indicates that 5-HTP may have a beneficial effect on a broad scope of complaints. Specifically, 5-HTP may help to: 5-HTP Elevate mood in cases of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks In addition to reducing the amount of time it takes to nod off, 5-HTP actually may enhance the quality of sleep itself, increasing both the duration of dream states (REM sleep) and of deep slumber 5-HTP curbs the appetite when taken before meals. In this way 5-HTP promotes weight loss. 5-HTP may also be of use in hel.
