The A’s seem to find a way to compete at the Major League level without the benefit of a Tampa Ray level farm system. Sure, the system has produced Matt Chapman and Jesus Luzardo but for the most part, they have produced complementary players over the past few years.
This year’s list doesn’t appear to have any true stars either. I like AJ Puk, but the injuries are mounting, and he’ll be 26 in April. Tyler Soderstrom can really hit but nobody will confuse him with the upside of Wander Franco. And it goes on from there.
Yet, it appears every year the A’s compete, so something is working and as the old saying goes if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
