There are still several storylines to follow over the course of the next six weeks and beyond. Here are three key questions facing the A's this spring:
1. What to do about Coco Crisp and Billy Butler?
Crisp and Butler are Oakland's highest-paid players, set to reel in nearly $23 million combined this season. Yet, the A's can't guarantee production from either, and Crisp is injured far too often. The outfielder has a chronic neck issue that can only be helped by career-ending surgery, but he's proven to be a valuable asset when healthy, so the A's plan to use him carefully in a limited role.
