Elephant Rumblings: A’s rotation impressing in Spring Training

The A’s haven’t won one with Joe Boyle on the mound yet this Spring Training, but it isn’t the big righty’s fault. Boyle pitched into the fourth inning yesterday, striking out two without issuing any walks and allowing just one earned run in the A’s 5-3 loss.
Competition is fierce among A’s starting pitchers this spring, and Jason Burke at SI.com noted that so far, performances have been strong across the board and nobody has yet to “set themselves apart.” This dynamic makes Spring Training a lot more interesting.
