It’s fine — usually the pundits give up on the A’s during the pre-season even when they’re good. Because we don’t have Ohtani or Trout!!!! So maybe this time they will be right, as the A’s ponder the scope of their rebuilding, not whether to rebuild. Will they shoot for high-upside A-ball players, be terribad now but maybe really good later? Or will they go for “MLB ready” prospects a la Dan Haren and Dan Meyer (spoiler alert: one Dan turned out better than the other), in order to be good sooner but perhaps not as great?
Happy Thanksgiving Up!
