## Resource

The Athletics’ pitching woes persist despite offseason additions, with key arms sidelined and rookies stepping up. J.T. Ginn has been a standout, delivering quality starts and limiting damage, but the team desperately needs more consistent support. With Bleacher Report dropping them to 22nd in power rankings — tied for fewest quality starts — the pressure mounts ahead of tough series against the Brewers and Rockies. Ginn can’t carry them alone, and the rotation’s future hinges on whether young arms like Jump and Morris can rise to the occasion.
