Depending on the stage of a player's career, Spring Training can be present wildly different goals, from hoping to reach the big leagues, to getting in shape, learning a new club or even trying to make a comeback with your old team. From the record-breaking heat of Phoenix, some of the A's are profiled for their own objectives.

Awesome ANtics as always.

who's arthur hugging?

that is a great pic.  i'm glad he's got some friends on the a's.  i actually liked rhodes from afar on the M's and like billy, thought he would have made a great transition to closer.  happy we got two bona fide closers (maybe more with mcbeth) that can do it with control and location.

I believe it's Chavez.

It's a funny picture of Chavez though.

Sorry for asking a stupid question but what's the significance of that station? Is it carrying the A's games this season? Last time I heard it was full of crappy talk shows.
