What gives?

by jarforcefatherofforce on Aug 24, 2006 2:09 PM PDT

For the first time in recent memory, the A's have failed to sign six of their first eighteen draft picks. This includes their first pick (in the second round), Trevor Cahill, a top high school pitcher out of San Diego. Forgetting the John Smoak disaster, the A's have been very good at signing their draft choices. For a team that counts heavily on their own farm system to produce their players, this does not ring too good. What gives?

You need some up to date info:

Cahill has already pitched twice in Rookie Ball and signed a month ago.

I'll dig up the link that shows who has signed.

Cahill

The A's web site does not list him as signed. This is good to here. Now what about the other five?

Force

After a year in LaLaLand, Force is returning to the Bay Area. He called to tell me last night. He said, What's the A's schedule the first week in September"? He will be acquiring a new computer so he can keep up to speed with the A's on AN.
