Everyone made a big deal about how the A's fleeced the Cardinals when they traded Mark Mulder. You know who's left on the A's from that deal? Exactly (it's Kiki Calero and Daric Barton pictured right). This is a 'rebuilding year' for Oakland. With more and more teams operating 'Moneyball style'. The A's are finding it tougher and tougher to compete. I think Beane's head might explode this year. The dude is an uber jedi at putting competing teams out there with less resources but at a certain point, you know he wants to say: 'Can we at least make an offer to someone? Maybe 1 trade where we get the star instead of being a vocational program?!!!!'
