First of all, the A's didn't trade any pitching away last season. They lost Zito to free agency and that was NOT a loss. Despite losing Harden, they have one of the best pitching staffs in MLB.
In case you are unaware, it takes more than pitching to win games. The A's suck because they can't score runs. Period. It has absolutely nothing to do with the pitching staff and to say that their pitching staff isn't as good as it was the year before shows that you don't understand the game that well.
