Billy Beane has once again rebuilt Oakland from top to bottom. There are some new faces on the roster, so to help you rank the talent, here are the top five fantasy players on the Oakland Athletics.

The mere fact that Crisp made this list shows how desperate this team is for offensive weapons. Crisp hasn't been able to stay healthy for years and it is unlikely that he will even play 130 games this season. With an ADP of 219, Crisp will rightfully go underrated in the majority of fantasy formats.

ADP: 219

Kazmir continued to turn around his career by having another strong outing in 2014. He finished with a 3.55 ERA and 168 K's in 190.2 innings of work. He also won 15 games in his first year in Oakland. The veteran will be worth the gamble as a SP5/SP6 this spring.

ADP: 213.7

Doolittle was on his way to being ranked a top-10 fantasy closer this year, but an offseason shoulder surgery will put the reliever on the DL to start the 2015 season. He will come back to inherit the closer role and will be worth the late-round investment in leagues that start two or more closers.

ADP: 177

Zobrist remains the most versatile stick in all of fantasy. He can cover three different positions and puts up starter-worthy numbers whenever he is healthy. Zorro will be a cheap 10 HR/10 SB infielder to find after the first 10 rounds this year.

ADP: 144

After an impressive 2013 postseason, Gray continued to mature into Oakland's ace this past season. The right-hander threw a staggering 219 innings to go along with a 3.08 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Gray will be a top-25 arm in all formats after his break out season and the youngster will be worth drafting as a low-end SP2/high-end SP3 in 2015.

ADP: 71.1
