Anyone win the World Series with the Athletics prior to moving to Las Vegas? Best I could do was make it to the Wildcard.

No, but I won it in the first year (2029) I moved them to LV with pretty much the same team I had in the playoffs the previous year. Should've rode it out one more season in CA.

They have some real talent. If you give them a mid-level budget with some money for free agents, they can be competitive in baseball's weakest Division. There are some obvious holes to fill.

Has anyone tried to do "Moneyball" with them? I just watched that again the other day.

I know how Billy feels when the manager won't play who you want and you have to trade his players lol!

Remember that moneyball team had Tejada, Chavez, and a very deep rotation. Don't let the movie fool you
