Today in Baseball History:
- 1996 - Barry Bonds becomes only the fourth player in major league history to amass 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases when he homers in the 3rd inning in the San Francisco Giants’ 6 - 3 victory over the Florida Marlins. His father, Bobby Bonds, along with godfather Willie Mays and Andre Dawson are the only other players to reach 300-300.
Best of Twitter:
- The A’s have a really fun farm system right now...
Norge Ruiz allowed 8 R in 1.2 IP in his Double-A debut. Since then? Three starts, 17 IP, 2 R, 10 H, 3 BB, 12 K. #Athletics

I don't think it's an enormous stretch to think that Ruiz and Miguel Romero will be helping the A's in 2019.

- Going back to spring training, and through lots of injury issues, Melvin/Forst/Beane don’t seem to envision much of a role for Bassett...
No issues with sending down Graveman, who hasn't looked good since he got hurt last year, but don't get acquiring a guy like Font who was struggling instead of going with Bassitt.
