From the Contra Costa Times:
Tuesday’s intra-squad game at Papago Park will feature pitchers Ron Flores, Scott Dunn, Marcus McBeth, Connor Robertson and David Schafer. The game will begin between 10:30 a.m. and noon. … Wednesday’s intrasquad game at Phoenix Muni will feature Lenny DiNardo, Kaz Tadano, Mike Mitchell, Erasmo Ramirez and Jay Marshall. … Brad Halsey will start the A’s Cactus League opener Thursday against Milwaukee at Maryvale, with Jason Windsor also slated to go that day. Joe Kennedy will start the following day at Phoenix Muni against the Brewers. … Reliever Santiago Casilla (formerly Jairo Garcia) is expected in camp today.
Mitchell is apparently really putting himself out there, throwing some serious stuff that has people giving him a second glance. A good spring could see Windsor push his way into Oakland’s starting rotation ahead of Joe Kennedy, but he’d have to be REALLY good. Marcus McBeth was filthy in Fall Ball, so expect to see him push for closing honors in Sacramento, with room for a mid-season call up to the A’s if he keeps in form.
