As spring training winds down, the A's roster is starting to come into clearer focus. With the team leaving for Japan in less than a week, we take our best crack at projecting the 25-man squad.
Catchers: Nick Hundley, Josh Phegley
Chris Herrmann's knee injury makes this a pretty easy decision for Oakland. Herrmann was expected to represent the left-handed side of a platoon, but he appears to be headed for surgery on his right knee and there is no timetable for his return. That leaves Hundley and Phegley splitting time behind the plate, at least to start the season.
