OAKLAND – When Tommy Milone takes the mound Sunday at the Coliseum, the opposing uniform will look very familiar.
The players inside those uniforms won’t.
Just four A’s position players currently on the 25-man roster remain from the time Milone pitched in green and gold from 2012-14. Two of those players, Josh Reddick and Eric Sogard, may not even face Milone on Sunday as they often don’t play against left-handed pitchers. A third, Billy Burns, was promoted from the minors last season just three days before Oakland dealt Milone to the Minnesota Twins on July 31.
“Most of the players I know are pitchers, so it’s not really gonna help (as far as a scouting report),” Milone said with a smile Saturday.
