We'll get there, give us a few years. - An A's Franchise.

[iMunenoriKawasaki]

It's obvious that if your an Athletic, you probably won't be there long. But wouldn't it be nice to break that trend? With the depth of pitching that the A's have on their 40 Man Roster this year, it seems less likely. We have a vey nice team, and look forward to where were going!


40 Man Roster:
Pitchers:
#54 Sonny Gray
#26 Scott Kazmir
#64 A.J. Griffin
#11 Jarrod Parker

#1 Billy Burns
#22 Josh Reddick
#3 Craig Gentry


Will try to roll with that for a while (wasn't lying when I said we have a lot of pitchers )


This will be a more month by month all-sim series. I will put up big scores and such, and any box score if I play. Then I will put up stats from the A's and any notable transactions around the league. Then there will be posts about transactions that involve the A's as well. Hope you all look forward to this!

Expect big changes to come soon! Especially with the deep amounts of pitching we have on the 40-Man Roster! End of April stats to come, unless I make a trade first.

Some more stats I will put up are division races all around the league and league leaders in major categories such as saves, BA, HRs and maybe a few more, like hits, and W-L.

Also, the A's received a trade offer from the Rockies for Tyler Clippard, and would be receiving Tyler Matzek, but it was declined.
