Oakland's Matt Chapman looking like a prospect who could make an impact with the A's

SAN FRANCISCO -- Eleven years is a long time. It's an even longer time for a baseball team not to develop one of its own draft picks as a fixture position player.

But that's how long it's been for the A's, whose last drafted-and-developed every-day player who had any extended length of time with them was shortstop Cliff Pennington, their top pick way back in 2005.Most of their top position prospects since either didn't make the grade, didn't last long like Jemile Weeks, or were traded to other teams before making it to the majors like Addison Russell.Enter 22-year-old third baseman Matt Chapman, who looks like the best bet to end that dubious drought.
