The games don’t matter, sure, but the Oakland A’s are on a six-game Cactus League win streak after a slow start. Already, and in a rough draft form, the team is compelling. But questions planted during the winter are starting to bear fruit — the second base race is heating up, and still a toss up. The backup catcher’s race, too.
@CallieTsai on Twitter asks: (Sean) Murphy has 2 knee injuries last year. With that in mind, is it possible the A’s go with a more even, 50/50 split between Murphy and whoever wins the backup catcher spot?
