Thank you ESPN for showing the Oakland Athletics some love. My favorite piece of the entire article "no one could have predicted it, a silent force rising out of Northern California, a team that was supposed to be in a rebuilding mode, one lucky to reach .500, let alone the top of our MLB Power Rankings."

The team would even better if they dumped that pile of trash Street. Can't wait till your 1 year contract is up buddy.

The A's rank #10 in Whatifsports' MLB Power rankings, which are based on statistical simulation and not opinion.
