TOC's season preview series is now one-third of the way complete – well, it will be after today, when we turn the spotlight to the two-time defending AL West champion Oakland Athletics. The A's were able to breathe a bit easier during the 2013 season than they were in 2012, but ran into the same buzzsaw in October – the Detroit Tigers. Can Oakland finally make the jump past Detroit this year?
Yesterday was Rangers Day on TOC, and here's your recap.
–Season preview
–Two biggest weaknesses
–Three key questions
–Four horsemen
Also yesterday, the Braves signed yet another young player to a contract extension, inking shortstop Andrelton Simmons to a seven-year deal.
Enjoy Athletics Day and Spring Training, everyone.
