Also, I find it very amusing that they never won anything. They had 3 solid pitchers (Zito, Hudson and Mulder) and the biggest foul territory ball park in badeball. It's funny how none of the 3 pitchers have done muh in career since leaving.
Sabermetrics is a nice added nuance to evaluations but nothing beats the eye test. Oakland has missed just as much on prospects as any other team.
