A.J. Pul looked "free and easy" throwing the ball on Wednesday according to A's manager Bob Melvin. (Shayna Rubin on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Melvin added that the former top prospect "told me he feels great. He’s in great shape. Ball had a lot of life. He looked really good.” Well, this is certainly a ringing endorsement and a very good sign for Puk, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, which required surgery and forced him to miss the 2020 season. A's GM David Frost stated back in December that Puk would be competing for a rotation spot with the A's. The left-hander is worth a late round flyer in fantasy drafts due to his prospect pedigree. It's best to wait and see how he looks and if he can remain healthy during Spring Training first.
