The Oakland A’s farm system may not be as deep as it has been in the past, but there are still several intriguing players. They are particularly deep at shortstop, where three of their top six prospects are listed, and happens to be the position that their first round pick, Max Muncy, calls home. Given how Elvis Andrus has not exactly set the world afire this year, that depth becomes even more important, especially with Nick Allen being close to the majors.
