As the season started approaching and the A's roster seemed set, excitement reverberated among A's fans. There were questions with the roster to be sure, but the A's roster looked to be full of young position players who could break out big time. Mark Canha? Rule 5 steal. Khris Davis? Underrated slugger. Yonder Alonso? Solid hitter.
Thus far, none of that has happened. Just how far off the A's 2015 numbers and career numbers from their 2016 lines thus far? Let's look. Numbers were taken prior to Friday's game.
| Player | 2015 OPS | Career OPS | 2016 OPS | Difference 2016 and 2015 | Difference between 2016 & career |
