| Michael Taylor misses out on roster |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(3/17/13) The Oakland Athletics pared down their roster Sunday, optioning outfielders Grant Green and Michael Taylor to Triple-A Sacramento. Both players were in the running for a spot on the opening day roster this spring, but could make an appearance with the parent club at some point during the season.
The Athletics also reassigned pitcher Brian Gordon, catcher Dave Freitas, first baseman Scott Moore, shortstop Dawrin Perez and outfielder Michael Choice to their minor-league camp.

| Green getting in swing of things |
| (3/5/13) Grant Green is competing for the starting job at second base this spring and had another productive day at the plate in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Royals. He went 2 for 4 with a pair of doubles in the 8-2 loss. Green is batting .500 (8 for 16) through eight spring games. "He's swinging the bat great,'' bench coach and acting manager Chip Hale said. ''It's the same stuff we see every day in batting practice. He just hasn't had a whole lot of opportunity to play. Since he's got the opportunity, he's shown us why he had the big year last year in Triple-A offensively and the move to second base is looking good right now."

| A's ready to go Green? |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1/27/13) A's manager Bob Melvin said Sunday prospect Grant Green will be in the mix at second base this spring alongside Jemile Weeks and Scott Sizemore. "He will be a guy that will get quite a few at-bats this spring at second base," Melvin said. "We’ll take a hard look at him."

| Green in the running at 2B |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(12/17/12) According to Baseball America, prospect Grant Green will be one of several players competing for the Athletics' starting second base job in spring training. Green, who began his professional career as a shortstop and has also spent time at third base and center field, played in the Arizona Fall League for the third time this offseason so that he could polish his skills at his new position. "I think it went well," said Green. "I went down there to learn second base ... I was able to grasp all the different things that went into it, like turning two, the different positioning. It was a good thing for me to go."

| The A's organization has tried Grant Green at several different positions in the minors, but he may have finally found a home at second base. He will challenge Scott Sizemore and Jemile Weeks for the starting job there this spring, and if his performance at Triple-A Sacramento last season is any indication, he should be up to the challenge. Green cut back dramatically on his strikeouts, as he hit .296 with 15 home runs and 75 RBI. That batting average was actually not much higher than his .291 mark at Double-A Midland, but his improved contact skills could eventually pay off in the form of an even higher batting average if he can reverse a slide in his BABIP rate. Because Green is far from a lock to win a starting job, he should be avoided in standard mixed league drafts, but he is worth a late-round flyer in deeper formats. (Updated 1/8/13) |
