  • A's News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 by Joe Stiglich
    A’s News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 Oakland A's have plenty to do in camp before opener By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune For those who think spring training is merely for players to knock the winter rust off, consider the A's situation. Their to-do list includes identifying a starting first baseman and designated hitter, choosing as many as three pitchers for their five-man rotation, finding a closer and sorting out a crowded outfield. Then consider they have 11 fewer days to make those decisions than they normally would, thanks to a March 28 season opener against the Seattle Mariners in Tokyo. The A's play their final Cactus League game March 21 and fly to Japan the next day. Were they not heading abroad, they probably would have played their final Cactus League exhibition April 1. Perhaps that's why A's manager Bob Melvin was on the move during the first pitchers-and-catchers workout Sunday, observing as many players as he could. "It's one thing if you have a starting group at every position and you're evaluating young guys," Melvin said. "We're going to have some guys that are integral parts of our team that we're going to have to evaluate." The A's will have 21 Cactus League games on which to base those evaluations before flying to Tokyo on March 22. Interesting to note is that the A's could have bought themselves another week to sort out their roster. The Mariners were granted permission by Major League Baseball to open camp Feb.

  • A's Send Rays to Fifth Loss in Six Games Tampa Bay Rays Clips
    Tampa Bay Rays Clips – August 31, 2013 A's send Rays to fifth loss in six games By Roger Mooney, Tribune Staff OAKLAND - Second and third and one out and the score tied in the eighth inning. The Tampa Bay Rays finally had some life Friday night at the Oakland Coliseum. James Loney finished off a marathon at-bat with an RBI double. The dugout had come alive, although that might have had something to do with Fernando Rodney being locked in the dugout bathroom and his teammates' efforts to free the closed-in closer. But Desmond Jennings went down swinging and Kelly Johnson took offense with a called third strike. Rally over. You know what happens next. Leadoff single, aggressive base-running keeps A's out of double play, soft double to right field. Ball game. The A's took over the wild card lead with a 4-3 victory against the Rays, who now trail the Red Sox by 3 1/2 games in the American League East. “We didn't get the hit when we needed it,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said, “and that's what it came down to.” Rays starter David Price pitched into the eighth inning and left after allowing a leadoff single to Coco Crisp. He lost for the second time since coming off the disabled list July 2. Joel Peralta came on and got Josh Donaldson to hit a ground ball to Yunel Escobar. But Crisp was running, an unusual move with a 2-2 count, and stayed out of the double play.

  • 17U Wwba National Championship -- Top Pitching Prospects
    17U WWBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP -- TOP PITCHING PROSPECTS With 110 teams in the event, there was no shortage at all of premium prospects on display in Marietta through the week. Today we’ll take a look at the top 50 2007 pitching prospects. Next up will be the top 50 2007 position prospects, followed by the top 40 underclassmen. There were a number of position players who would potentially make the top 50 pitcher list if they were primary pitchers. Among those were SS Brooks Pinckard (TASBA), OF Junior Gray (Xtra Innings), OF Jeremy Kerley (TASBA), SS J.C. Menna (NJ Twins) and IF Jordan Lucas (EC Braves). 1. LHP Josh Smoker (EC Braves): Now throwing consistently in the low 90’s with the same type of polish he showed as an 86-88 pitcher. 2. RHP Brandon Hamilton (Knoxville Yard): Pro body with present pro stuff. Threw 90-93 with a true mid-80’s slider with good tilt. 3. RHP Jarrod Parker (Summit City Sluggers): The hardest thrower at the 17U championship, Parker touched 95 mph and doesn’t use much effort to do it. 4. RHP Evan Danieli (NJ Twins): Threw 88-92 but more impressively, can spin the ball and repeat his delivery at 6-8. 5. RHP Kyle Blair (Nor Cal): Combines both polish with plus stuff; his curveball was especially impressive at times. 6. RHP Eric Goeddel (Nor Cal): As good as his teammate Blair’s curveball was, Goeddel’s slider was better. 7. LHP Forrest Moore (ABD Bulldogs): Assumes Josh Smoker’s former title as “Best Sub-90’s” pitcher in the class.
