Now that the Oakland A’s 2016 season is over, it’s time for a look back. There’s a long offseason ahead and plenty of dreary winter days for dreaming on the future, but first we need to digest all that has happened over the last six months.
On Monday we reviewed Low-A Vermont, so the next step up the ladder brings us to the Single-A Beloit Snappers. This is the lowest full-season minor league affiliate, as they play 139 games beginning in April (as opposed to Vermont, which plays a shorter schedule beginning in June).
I’m going to be upfront: This is the least interesting of all five of the A’s affiliates we’ll be looking at.
