Oakland Athletics: Top 2010 Prospects

Are the Bats Ready to Match the Arms?

Oakland has been an AL version of the Atlanta Braves for many years now: a team that can spin superstar pitching out of thin air, while being wholly unable to develop the bats to go along with them. At times the team has even seemed cursed: a month after their top outfield prospect wins the AFL MVP award, he quits the team in order to sign with a higher power. But like the Braves, this year's Athletics franchise might have finally turned the corner, by fortune or design: they're now sitting on a half-dozen top-tier hitting prospects who are almost ready to sample the Big Show.    

Teenage phenom Michel Michael Ynoa Inoa is only one part of a deep and rich pitching stable being developed on the Oakland farm.
