The Athletics have moved pitching prospect Michael Ynoa to the bullpen at High-A Stockton. | ||||||
It's a little surprising after Ynoa finally pitched well and stayed healthy last season. However, he does have a career 4.9 BB/9 rate, so the A's must be thinking the 22-year-old will have a better shot to throw strikes and stay off the DL as a reliever. | ||||||
