Both Haren and Swisher are young and productive, and they're signed to easily
affordable long-term contracts that lock them up for at least the next three
seasons. In short, they're exactly the type of cornerstones a rebuilding club
would want to rebuild around. But Oakland's farm system had fallen into such
a state of disrepair that the A's decided they had to shed Haren and Swisher
to bring in some minor league talent for the future.

Billy Beane has proven himself to be one of the game's best general managers,
but how he escapes blame for the collapse of his farm system is beyond me.
Yes, big league promotions have thinned out Oakland's store of minor league
talent, but with 19 first-round or supplemental first-round picks in the last
six drafts, there's no excuse. Funny, I seem to remember reading a book a few
years ago about how the A's were revolutionizing the draft.

Secondly, there's no guarantee that prospects will pan out. I love prospects
as much as the next guy, but unless the three best pitchers Oakland acquired
(Brett Anderson from the Diamondbacks, Gio Gonzalez and Fautino de los
Santos) all pan out, I don't think the trades will significantly upgrade the
A's in the long run. And we all know what injuries and attrition can do to
pitching prospects.
