There are times covering a baseball beat – or, presumably, any beat – when you run the risk of getting so close to the story that it’s hard to see the story.
There’s a saying about forests and trees that applies.
I mention this now because it seems that I’ve spent the entire season writing about A’s players being called up, being sent down and going on the disabled list. Especially going on the disabled list.
And there are some numbers to suggest that my assumption that the A’s are setting records for all this roster rumbling isn’t far off.
