In case the headline didn't make this clear, today I talk to you about three of the A's pitchers.
Jarrod Parker
The A's have made it clear that they still see Parker as a starting pitcher and that he will be preparing as such this spring. Parker won't make the Opening Day roster, partly because he has a lot of rust to shake off after missing two seasons and partly because the A's figure to have a "first five" in Sonny Gray, Jesse Hahn, Rich Hill, Chris Bassitt, and Kendall Graveman -- although Graveman has options and could conceivably be replaced by Sean Nolin or Felix Doubront (both of whom are out of options) or a new acquisition.
