Many of those relievers will return in 2013. Can they repeat their success? Will there be newcomers in the bullpen? We take a look at the A's spring battle for the bullpen. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1268652.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1268652.html Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:28:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics Last season, the Oakland A's entered spring training with a veteran-laden bullpen that was built to help lead the team to the playoffs. The 2011 A's fell well short of that playoff goal. This year, the A's will be fielding a much younger, different-looking bullpen. Who will be the A's new closer and who will fill out the middle-inning roles? http://athletics.scout.com/2/1163674.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1163674.html Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:22:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics For teams out of post-season contention, the month of September is a time to assess their future.

After carrying four lefties in the bullpen for much of the season, the A's sent one back to Sacramento and brought up a right-handed reliever in his place. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1071350.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1071350.html Wed, 11 May 2011 15:59:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The Oakland A's didn't have many jobs up for grabs at the start of spring training, but there appears to be an opening in the A's bullpen. With Opening Day is two weeks away, it is a good time to take stock of the A’s current bullpen situation. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1057142.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1057142.html Fri, 18 Mar 2011 21:59:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The Oakland A's added some left-handed reinforcements to their pitching staff on the first day of September call-ups.

To make room for Gallagher and Blevins, Eric Patterson and Gio Gonzalez were sent to Triple-A Sacramento. http://athletics.scout.com/2/862559.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/862559.html Mon, 04 May 2009 21:47:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics SACRAMENTO, CA - The Sacramento River Cats found just enough offense to eek out a thrilling 2-1 win in 13 innings over the Las Vegas 51's.

Now that we have passed the midway point of the season, we thought it would be a good time to check the progress of those players. In the fourth in our series, we take a look at the progress of prospects 20-11 from our off-season list. http://athletics.scout.com/2/777268.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/777268.html Fri, 08 Aug 2008 21:26:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics One Oakland A's rookie reliever set a record on Sunday, while another A's rookie reliever set a personal milestone.

This off-season, the hard-throwing Gray participated in the Arizona Fall League and was added to the 40-man roster. Now he is looking to make the leap to the next level. http://athletics.scout.com/2/767415.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/767415.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 06:52:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics Hot News for SP Jerry Blevins http://athletics.scout.com/a.z?s=304&p=9&c=2&cid=766903&nid=3653689&fhn=1 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/a.z?s=304&p=9&c=2&cid=766903&nid=3653689&fhn=1 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:28:42 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics With half of the minor league season gone, it is time for us to look back and acknowledge the players who shined during the first part of the season.

However, perhaps the most impressive aspect of the team in April has been the bullpen. The 2008 A's bullpen features a group of hard-throwers, something new for Oakland. Ryan McGrady takes an in-depth look at the A's present-day bullpen and at who might join the bullpen in the future. http://athletics.scout.com/2/751601.html 2047 Ryan McGrady http://athletics.scout.com/2/751601.html Thu, 01 May 2008 05:58:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics After a quiet Opening Night, the Oakland A’s affiliates made some noise with the bat on Friday night.
