Alumni news: Brad Halsey

I came across a nice article about Brad Halsey in the San Jose Mercury News: On the mound, Halsey has mettle by Joe Roderick. When Brad first went to the A's it looked like he'd quickly be sent to the Minors. But, they thought they might need him for a start with bad weather looming so kept him on the 25-man roster. It was just supposed to be for a week or two. And, instead of starting, he threw out of the bullpen a few times. And, then a couple of the starters suffered injuries and suddenly, he's getting a shot as a starter. Cool.
