No doubt. Huge honor. However, it also illustrates that the A's will likely be in contention for the #1 overall pick next year

Sadly, that's true. Beer anyone?

Yeah this is a huge honor for Graveman but unfortunately this is true. They aren't going to be good and he's going to be going against a lot of other teams better pitchers as a 1.

Good experience and he'll continue to develop. He can't help it he's not on the best team. What he could do is make sure he's the best on his team, and it sounds like he's done that.

Nah, Beer looks 35 years old.

Beer is basically the modern form of Mark Kotsay.

He'll be a MLB player but there will be 10 or so more talented players on the board next year.

Yep...quite the honor. He'll lock up with #1's for the first month or so then it'll start to even out a little. But if he can be above .500 as opening day guy on a bad team then he'll be receiving quite the pay day before long.
