Player Notes
September 28, 2007
Alan Embree is expected to rejoin the A's today after being away from the team while tending to a family matter, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Embree hasn't pitched since Sept. 15 - not that fantasy owners are too overly concerned about it.
August 16, 2007
Alan Embree worked the eighth inning Wednesday against Chicago - giving up two runs - while Huston Street came on for the save in the ninth, striking out the side. And with that, it looks like things could be back to normal in the Oakland bullpen going forward, with Embree working in a set-up role and Street reclaiming his closer job. We'll see what the A's say about this as the week goes along, but even if Embree's ninth-inning work is done for the year, he had a heck of a run - 15 saves that no one expected. Stay tuned.
June 28, 2007
Alan Embree will stay in the closer's role despite allowing five ninth-inning runs in Tuesday's 8-5 loss at Cleveland, the AP reports. "He's done a great job," manager Bob Geren said Wednesday. "He will continue to get the ball in the ninth inning." Embree, who has converted eight of 10 save chances, pitched Monday and Tuesday, throwing a total of 46 pitches.
June 21, 2007
Alan Embree recorded a two-inning save Wednesday, retiring six batters in a row and picking up three strikeouts. Embree now has eight saves and has been scored on just once in his last 15 appearances.
June 7, 2007
Alan Embree was held out of Wednesday's save situation after working in the previous three games. Santiago Casilla stepped in for Embree Wednesday and got the final four outs in a 3-2 victory.
May 23, 2007
Alan Embree will "more often than not" be Oakland's closer while Huston Street and Justin Duchscherer are on the disabled list, Bob Geren told the San Francisco Chronicle. Embree has mediocre stats so far in 2007 (3.93 ERA, 1.58 ratio, .324 batting-average against), though he did pick up a save Friday against the Giants.
