Just finished listening to Jamie Arnold’s debut on the A’s spring training broadcast. First pitches he’s thrown against professional competition since drafting (he didn’t debut last season).
He faced the meat of the Royals order, K’ed two, and made it through scoreless on 18 pitches. It wasn’t without traffic – broken bat infield single and HBP on a slider in – but imagine pitching in the MLB and facing Bobby Witt Jr in your first inning of work.
Good first look for the rook. I predict he makes his MLB debut this fall.

Urena working 98-100 with the sinker. Two 100 mph pitches to Sal Stewart, both Bleday and Stewart couldn’t do much, just weak GB contact. Got Suarez to swing through it twice, King him on a 99.5 mph ball inside.
Like Klassen, you could put this guy into the BP right now as a single inning guy, and likely have a late game weapon by the ASB, if the team were willing to live with a half season of volatility.

I don’t disagree but I feel with the way Minasian loaded up on veteran relief arms, developing the young guys as starters is the plan.

Well, loading up on veteran relief arms was the plan because they only had a single durable arm (Burke) remaining in the pen, and they traded that one, so one-year cheap oldsters and rehab projects were really the only avenue.
But if they want an affordable bullpen that’s sustainable, they’re going to have to go homegrown at some point.

Wally Wally !! I can get behind starting Klassen and/or Urena as relievers in the majors as long as we aren’t giving up on them as starters. Similar to Soriano’s major league beginning

There’s one of those doubles Schanuel was talking about hitting.
