a first for the A's or a first for any team?
There have been plenty of teams that don't have first round picks because of free agents they signed (in the case of the A's, I would assume Frank Thomas).
Over the last few years, the Giants have been notorious for giving up those picks. There's a whole free agent-draft pick system thing that is in place. You can look it up if you care.
