The Oakland A's farm system has quietly been blessed with exceptional health in 2016. Not a single member of our preseason Community Prospect List Top 30 has suffered a season-ending injury, with RHP Dylan Covey's strained oblique being by far the worst of the lot (he's missed three months). There have been a couple brief DL stints here and there for routine small stuff but even those have been minimal in frequency. Leaving aside the cancer diagnosis of veteran Andrew Lambo (which is both serious and utterly non-baseball-related), it's incredible how healthy the entire A's farm has been from top to bottom.
