The A's come in a miserable 27th, up one spot from last year, and you're not going to hear me complaining about how unfair that is. On the other hand, they're fourth in their division because the Angels continue to be worse than Oakland in this department. The A's have a better excuse, in a sense, because they've been trading all their good prospects. The Angels made the Huston Street trade last year, but for the most part have just struggled to draft and/or develop consistently. (Not that the A's were the Cubs before the Samardzija and Zobrist deals, but still.)
