2004 Oakland A's Dynasty (Pitching Wins Championships)

And1pg2 · 06-07-2004, 05:46 PM

Alright everyone here we go once again. I'm going to take the A's and develop them into a power house team through pitching. Sort of like they are now. I intend to finish no worse than 2nd in the AL West and i also expect to make the playoffs. So in other words i better win the division. The staff looks very strong to begin the year but we will be looking for a bullpen man to either set up for Rhodes or even to take over Rhodes's job as the closer. But don't expect the deal to come very soon.
