OSFM 15: Oakland Athletics

After a flurry of trades and moves the A's might be winding down this offseason. Even though some moves have hurt me and haunted me I'll try and forgive Billy (though that may not happen). Regardless, I did the OSFM roster for the A's last year and I would love to do them again. Here is my roster as of right now. (players subject to change).

Billy Beane is out of his mind!

Barry Zito sign a minor deal with the A's include a spring training invitation.

First off, when he isn't hurt you will love watching Brett Lawrie play, Graveman and Nolin I personally think will do very well I Oakland, Nolin was underused because of our idiot manager and Graveman looked very solid.

I'm not sure Nolin will be in the game and if it is the same face as last year, it was horrible. He has only played 2 games. I worked hard for years to get Barreto and McGuires faces, feel free to use them from last year's roster if you would like to

Thanks man!!

You'll need to add Barry Zito to your list. He signed a Minor League deal.

Without really looking closely into the names (and never really contributing much to rosters in the past) it seems like there is a ton of A and B guys on this list compared to other teams who have much more of a mix into the C’s and D’s.

i get that a lot but thats because I'm doing their full ceiling not a mixture of floor and ceiling and you'd be surprised how deep the a's farm system is potential-wise
