MESA, Ariz. – The new big three of the A’s starting rotation are still some time away from pitching in a game.
Sonny Gray, Kendall Graveman and Sean Manaea threw side-by-side Friday for the second time this spring, and Oakland manager Bob Melvin is optimistic that all three will acquit themselves well once games roll around.
Melvin was particularly impressed by Graveman, who was the only A’s pitcher not to miss a start last year in his best big league season – 10-11 with a 4.11 ERA, the winningest pitcher on a last-place team.
