Our series examining the Mariners’ AL West rivals continues this week, with our gaze lifting northward to the Bay Area. If you missed our overview of the Angels, start here. Wait, hang on—I’m being told I can’t even afford to look at pictures of the Bay Area, I’m actually typing this from the closet I share in El Cerrito with four other bloggers. Anyway, same drill here as before: today, a general overview; tomorrow John and Connor will look into the starting 9 the A’s will field (at least, the 9 who will start the season); Wednesday Jake will cover the pitching; and on Thursday we’ll look into their 2018 projections and farm system.
