OT: Oh man, the A's are SO bad. Terrible rotation and their lineup is even worse.

Sorry, Ronny, but that's a great young rotation.  Anderson was awesome and had a legit shot for ROY if it weren't for Bailey.  Check out the articles written ahead of the vote.  Cahill had a bit of control problems last year, but he got away from throwing his breaking stuff thathad been successful.  Outman is effective (and a great name) and Gio Gonzalez is a good hard thrower.  Mazzaro I know  little less about, but there is no way that is not a great young rotation.  Moneyball?  finding value.  No need to overpay for free agents with talent like that.
