List of Oakland Athletics first-round draft picks

Coincidental good timing with the Athletics' manager list below! So close to finishing this topic. One question for the reviewers: How much (if at all) should I add a mention of Moneyball to this article? Staxringold talkcontribs 19:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Support As should not be surprising, with 29 of 31 lists written, the formula is pretty well down. Courcelles 03:15, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Comma would be nice after "They also drafted Ariel Prieto in 1995".
 * "Two Athletics' first-round picks have won championships with the franchise." Nope. That number is at least three. Walt Weiss was on the A's 1989 team, and his Baseball-Reference page clearly indicates that he played in the World Series against the Giants.

 * Fixed! Good catch, I swear I scan through every pick-page for players drafted before a given WS win for a franchise, I must've missed him. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:28, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
