The A’s are meeting today with their relievers to spell out roles, but clearly whoever is in charge of these meetings is not very well organized. The meeting is just hours away and somehow I still have yet to get my official invitation. Yet clearly everyone agrees that these decisions should be made by "some dude on the internet".
Before the A’s announce their actual decision, let me share how it would go if I were king. I am going to include, in my analysis, Santiago Casilla, even though after watching him throw last night from a strangely low arm slot, lob in sliders that had less than usual velocity or bite, and get a visit from the manager and trainer, I have a hunch Casilla will be moving to the DL soon and opening up a spot for the loser of the Opening-Day-roster sweepstakes.
