          Fantasy baseball: No saves in Oakland? No problem.

          So far, the winless Athletics haven't had any save chances. Will Jake Diekman be the one to get the first? Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

          What annoys me about the Trevor Rosenthal situation is that he hit the injured list on Opening Day, without warning, for a shoulder injury that nobody other than the Oakland Athletics seemed to know about. Leading up to Opening Day, most thought the 30-year-old right-hander was fine and ready for a big season. Then, all of a sudden, he was not. Sure, Rosenthal missed time in March with a groin injury, but shoulder soreness is an entirely different problem which should scare both Athletics fans and fantasy managers alike.
