1. Gives the A’s rotation some “adult” leadership-the same role he was expected to fill last year. Braden did surprisingly well in this role last year, showing a lot of growth until his odd foot injury shut him down in August.
2) As a righty, gives the predominately left-handed rotation some balance
Projected A’s rotation;
Duchscherer (R)
Mr. Anderson (L)
Cahill (R)
Braden (L)
Manager’s Choice (Mazzaro or Gio Gonzalez)
