The 2018 Oakland A’s will be a unique team I believe. There really isn’t anywhere for them to go but up. Between the exciting young position players and the steadily improving rotati-- who am I kidding, the rotation is a disaster. The bullpen could use some work as well. In fact, the starting lineup is about the only area of strength the team has and the defense should be much better in 2018 than it has been in a long time.
Here is my plan for the 2018 oakland A’s roster, including steps to bring this team closer to contention without sacrificing much of the current crop of exciting young players.
