Dodd turned heads last season and is already making a name for himself early in Spring Training. Only two A's made the top 100, which is why this system isn't in the top 10 even with notable draft and international classes. Thats no longer the case, and Guanipa is a stud from Venezuela that should be an exciting young player to watch grow throughout his time in the minors. Garrett Crochet, Michael Kopech, Dylan Cease, Andrew Vaughn and Luis Robert are a pretty darn good group of players from just before that time, but it's hard to keep contending with an ownership-imposed cap on payroll and nothing more than role players coming from the system.
