A’S ROSTER BREAKDOWN
ROTATION: RHP Sonny Gray, LHP Rich Hill, RHP Kendall Graveman, RHP Chris Bassitt, RHP Jesse Hahn, RHP Henderson Alvarez, RHP Jarrod Parker. The A’s have a deep pool of starters, but beyond the ace, Gray, there resides a deep pool of questions. Hill had a tremendous final month with the Red Sox in 2015 but has to prove he can replicate it for more than four starts and 29 innings.
Alvarez won’t be ready to pitch until May. Parker is healthy but hasn’t pitched in two years thanks to two elbow surgeries.
