In my last look at the Oakland Athletics farm system I went over the recent signing classes in international free agency, and this time around I am going to dig into the draft history under the watch of David Forst. Initially I had planned this to be a single article, however as I did more research I decided to split the draft piece into two sections. The first will be a rundown of the past eight drafts and the Athletics selections, and generally will be the more negative look of the two. Oakland has general had bad luck or made bad decisions through the draft especially at the top, but my look next week generally makes me feel they are inputting the right strategy and through misidentification of talent or sheer luck have failed to capitalize as much as I feel they should have.
Can the A’s reverse their draft woes?
