Some Oakland A’s predictions for 2016
A’s fans won’t be happy about what happens to Josh Reddick, but Sean Manaea will give them something to cheer about. (Brant Ward/The Chronicle) After the crushing losses and baffling trades of the second half of 2014, it was pretty obvious that 2015 would be a low-morale disaster on the field. It was. Fortunately, 2016 is about to begin. Here are some predictions: –On the positive side, the A’s won’t have a third straight year of underperforming their run-expectancy win total more than any other team in the league. There’s enough bullpen depth to avoid that. –The team will be above .500 in April, and fans will fall in love
