Recker's stock rising for A's: With Landon Powell getting released last week, the A's backup catcher job seems to be Anthony Recker's job to lose. "Absolutely," Recker told MLB.com on Tuesday. "Coming in, I felt like I had a real good opportunity. This is easily the most exciting spring training for me, because I'm getting looks. I feel like I'm finally getting that opportunity, starting a lot of games, getting a lot of playing time, doing well defensively. Offensively, I'm still figuring out some things and getting comfortable, but I'm feeling great and think I have a legitimate shot, which is all you can ask for." (Updated 03/13/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Recker is batting .333 this spring with two RBI this spring. Recker, 28, has spent the past three seasons in Triple-A Sacramento. Even if Recker lands the backup job in Oakland, he'd barely be worth owning in AL-only Fantasy formats. (Updated 03/13/2012).
