MESA, Ariz. — The start of spring training for Brett Anderson this year is already going much better than last.
Anderson was jobless around this time last spring before signing with the A’s in late March. The left-hander re-signed just before the start of this spring and actually had actually had time to prepare with a big league club.
“It’s a little bit different this year because I didn’t really have a spring training last year,” Anderson said. “It’s new compared to last year so it’s just getting back on a routine of pitching every fifth day.
