If you missed A-R fear not: S and W are still ahead as the Eyeball Scout and Wheat/Chaff Director (same person, me) finish off predicting where a slew of young A’s players will ultimately land as “makes” or “fakes”.

Make no mistake about it, the A’s need to hit on their #1 pick from 2020. When you completely botch a trade for a talent like Sean Murphy, bungle a trade for a marquee player like Matt Chapman, and get middling results at best from dealing another star in Matt Olson, you flat out need for your top picks to come through in order to offset some of the damage.
