It’s February, so it’s officially time to start thinking about Spring Training. Pitchers and catchers report later this month, and the Oakland Athletics’ exhibition games begin exactly one month from today.
The biggest potential decisions for the A’s will be in their rotation. While Sonny Gray and Rich Hill are locks for the rotation, the other spots are less concrete. Chris Bassitt and Kendall Graveman are likely to return, but the starting staff has a lot of health concerns. Jesse Hahn is capable of being a #2-type starter, but the Athletics haven’t said definitively whether last year’s injury will continue to be a nagging problem in 2016.
