Scouting Report:
The Athletics, in their fifth season in the league, are looking good forward to a favorable number two spot in the draft. They have average pitching and fielding to try and make up for their lacking in the box. In the last few weeks the A's lost their pitching ace Alex Beale. There has also been speculation to whether Chad Leadbeter would resign with the A's for 2016 or take over another club.
