Believe it or not, spring training is just a few days away. The A's will have as many as 61 players participating in big league camp, including 21 non-roster invitees.
While top prospects like Jesús Luzardo, A.J. Puk, Sean Murphy, and possibly Kyler Murray will rightfully garner most of the attention, there will also be several under-the-radar players who could contribute to the A's this season. We've picked out five to keep an eye on:
Parker Bridwell - RHP
The A's claimed Bridwell off waivers from the Angels last month. The 27-year-old will be a non-roster invitee to spring training.
