Writing about ex-A's is an interesting task. As you dive into the rabbit hole of former players, you start to think that everyone played for the A's at one point or another. Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Von Miller? Former left fielder. Fake Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning? Former pitcher. Papa John? Former O.co vendor. Beyonce? Ugh I wish.

Remember Matt Murton? He was a key player in the Rich Harden deal, a guy lots of us were excited about. He was supposed to come in and start from day one and hold down a spot in an otherwise wide open outfield.
