Coming off a 93-69 season in 2006 the Oakland A's have more questions than answers. With the lose of Barry Zito and the possible trade of
Joe Blanton(16-12 4.82 ERA) to the Mets for
Lastings Milledge will the A's have any stability in their rotation? It is obvious that
Rich Harden and
Dan Haren have the ability to carry the rotation, but the current A's staff, especially one that may be without Joe Blanton, does not look like it could weather a post-season run.
The A's lineup and defensive setup is also undetermined.
Nick Swisher has said he prefers to play first base and it is likely that he will play there this season. But if the A's do not acquire Milledge will Swisher be forced to share time with
Bobby Kielty in left field?
With all these questions left unanswered what chance do you think the A's have coming into the 2007 season?
