“Balfour is the closer for the A's. And that's all you need to know about the pitcher who is prone to blowing saves more often than the A's want to admit. The job is his, but Cook and Doolittle will be making a case to steal it.”

 

“Injured (knee surgery out 4-6 weeks) 2/14”

 

“Probable for start of season.”
