— Was hanging out with Adam Rosales yesterday morning in the A's locker room at Papago Park. Yes, he is on crutches. But he will be ready for the start of the season. The reason for the delay in the surgery was because the bone was not healing properly. It wasn't an injury you would normally have surgery on, and when it was not healing properly, the decision was made to have surgery on it instead of letting it linger into the season. Rosie is in good spirits and can't wait to get back on the field.
