By: Keith Dobkowski, MLB News Writer
The Oakland A’s produced one the best teams in all of baseball
during the past five seasons making the playoffs four times.
More amazingly, the A’s fielded a team ranked near the bottom
of the league in salary, spending less than a third of what the
New York Yankees spent.
During this period two MVPs left the A’s for the cash of a major
market. Jason Giambi signed with the Yankees for $120 million
and Miguel Tejada signed with the Baltimore Orioles for $72
million. The combination of losing players and low salary has
not affected the A’s winning ways.
The reason is simple. Three pitchers, better known as the big
three, were the constant for the A’s over the past five seasons.
Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito made up the big three.
Hudson joined the A’s in 1999 and Mulder and Zito in 2000.
Combined, the big three won 245 games and lost only 121.
Then within two days of one another the A’s traded two-thirds
of the big three. Hudson was sent to the Atlanta Braves and
Mulder was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. And for the first
time in their careers Mulder and Hudson will not play together in
A’s green, but rather suit up for reigning National League
Central and National League East champions as rivals.
The Braves have won the National League East thirteen straight
seasons while the Cardinals have made the playoffs four of the
last five seasons. Twice since 1996 the Braves and Cardinals
have met in the postseason.
With the addition of Mulder and Hudson both teams are favored
to win their respective divisions again this season. And unlike in
Oakland where Mulder and Hudson teamed up to lead the A’s, in
2005 and beyond Hudson and Mulder will battle each other in
what is sure to be a great new rivalry.
