Like most major baseball sources, every winter FanGraphs releases top prospect lists for every organization. However, this offseason they just ... skipped the A’s. They did 27 of the 30 teams! But never got around to ours. No worries, that’s par for the course in the national media and Oakland fans are used to the team being ignored even when they’re a reigning division winner.
We all still love FanGraphs, and now they’ve come through, better late than never. On Friday they put out an A’s list, ranking the Top 33 prospects in the organization.
However, at this point it can’t really be considered a preseason list, and indeed it includes info collected in spring and beyond.
