Newsbreakers

October 3, 2009

Dana Eveland was touched for four runs on eight hits over 4.2 innings on Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Angels.

Our View:

Eveland has been miserable this season, whether he's starting or pitching out of the pen. In total he's complied a 2-4 record and 7.16 ERA.

September 20, 2009

Dana Eveland picked up a win in his spot-start on Sunday against the Indians as the A's pounded the Tribe 11-4. Eveland went five innings and allowed one run on five hits while walking two and striking out two.

Our View:

Eveland pitched very well today in place of the injured Brett Tomko. He has struggled mightily this season, but he showed today that he does have the stuff to pitch at this level.

September 18, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that the A's will start pitcher Dana Eveland in place of the injured Brett Tomko on Sunday against Cleveland. Tomko is dealing with a nerve issue in his right arm.

Our View:

Eveland has a 7.26 ERA with the A's this season, and he has only managed to win one game in his 31 innings pitched. He will likely get a few starts, but there is no reason to gamble on him for this season.

September 1, 2009

Dana Eveland has been recalled by the Athletics from Triple-A Sacramento, according to TSN.

Our View:

Eveland has a 8.00 ERA and 2.44 WHIP over 27 innings (six starts) with Oakland this season. He could get some spot-starts down the stretch, but is only worth a look for deeper fantasy leagues.

July 10, 2009

Dana Eveland cleared optional waivers on Friday, and has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Our View:

Eveland went 9-9 in 29 starts for the A's in 2008, but has been dreadful this season, posting an 8.00 ERA in 27 innings. He's a long ways away from being a meaningful fantasy player again.

July 7, 2009

Dana Eveland has been designated for assignment by the A's after giving up four earned runs over 2.2 innings in tonight's loss at Boston, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:

The A's designated him with the intention of securing option waivers. He remains on the 40-man roster, and will be optioned to Triple-A Sacramento if he clears waivers. Eveland was making a spot-start in place of Dallas Braden, who is on bereavement leave.

July 7, 2009

Dana Eveland was roughed up for four earned runs on six hits over a mere 2.2 innings in Tuesday's 5-2 loss at Boston. He had three walks and two strikeouts.

Our View:

Eveland coninues to struggle as his ERA climbs to 8.00. He is not fit for fantasy duty.

July 6, 2009

The Sports Network is reporting that the Oakland A's have recalled pitcher Dana Eveland from Triple-A Sacramento. He will take the roster spot of Dallas Braden, who was placed on the bereavement list.

Our View:

Braden was supposed to start on Tuesday, so it is possible that Eveland may get the ball instead. Eveland struggled in his first stint with the team this season, and he should not be considered for fantasy duty as he will most likely only be around for a week or so.

May 14, 2009

Dana Eveland picked up the win for Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday despite a mediocre outing. He allowed four runs, three earned, on five hits in six innings. He also walked four batters and struck out two.

Our View:

Eveland will need to do much more in order to regain his spot in Oakland's rotation. With his velocity still down, don't expect Eveland to help anytime soon.

May 5, 2009

According to SFGate.com, the A's demoted struggling starter Dana Eveland to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Our View:

Eveland was 1-2 with a 7.40 ERA and allowed 16 walks and 41 hits in just 24.1 innings this season, so it's no surprise he didn't last long. He was replaced on the roster by Rule 5 outfielder Ben Copeland.

May 5, 2009

Dana Eveland is still the listed starter for Wednesday despite the fact that he had to throw 13 pitches in the 15th inning of Sunday's game, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

Eveland will have to pick it up if he wants to stay in the rotation, as the A's have plenty of starting depth at Triple-A.

April 26, 2009

Dana Eveland allowed just one run on four hits and three walks over five innings on Sunday and earned his first win of the season. He struck out three as the A's cruised to a 7-1 win over the Rays.

Our View:

Eveland got the win, but he was far from dominant. He still allowed seven hitters to reach base and needed 91 pitches to get through five. He is averaging just under five innings per start this season and is not a strong fantasy option.

April 15, 2009

Dana Eveland didn't last long in his start against Boston on Tuesday. He allowed eight hits and three walks and surrendered five earned runs in just 4.2 innings.

Our View:

Eveland has allowed a scary amount of runners to reach base this season. In just 10.2 innings he has surrendered 21 batters to reach base. Not apromising start to the season.

April 8, 2009

Dana Eveland is set to make his first start of the season tonight at the Angels, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

Eveland failed to impress in spring training, and is 0-2 with a 6.06 ERA over three career starts against the Angels. He is an unstable fantasy option for tonight.

April 4, 2009

Dana Eveland pitched well for the first time in four starts Friday in San Francisco. He lasted six innings and allowed one run on three hits. "It was nice to get out of Arizona and back here where the ball does what it's supposed to do," Eveland said. "It was nice to see the ball move again and get a lot of groundballs. To have three pitches working for me was nice."

Our View:

In his previous four starts, in the warm air of Arizona, Eveland allowed 14 runs and 23 hits over a span of 17 and one-third innings.

March 28, 2009

The spring has not gone wonderfully for A's pitcher Dana Eveland, and he was just okay on Saturday in the team's 4-2 loss to the Brewers. Eveland went 7.0 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out four.

Our View:

Eveland is a popular pick in fantasy circles to break out, but he's now 0-4 this spring with a 5.04 ERA, which is not inspiring much confidence in Oakland or with fantasy owners.

March 23, 2009

Dana Eveland had an outing to remember against the Cubs on Monday. In just four innings, he allowed five runs on eight hits and a pair of walks as Oakland surrendered 24 hits in a 20-5 defeat.

Our View:

Eveland has struggled mightily this spring and is now 0-3 in exhibition play. If he continues to put up inflated numbers, it may not be long before manager Bob Geren gives him the hook.

March 13, 2009

Dana Eveland struck out four Indians Friday, but he also allowed two runs on four hits in three and one-third innings.

Our View:

Eveland did a good job of keeping the ball in the ballpark last season, allowing just 10 home runs in 168 innings pitched, and could be a solid option to start in AL-only leagues.

March 4, 2009

Dana Eveland threw two shutout innings in the A's 7-2 win over the White Sox on Wednesday. He gave up no hits, struck out one, and walked two in the start.

Our View:

Through two starts, Eveland has looked good and the 25-year-old is a nice sleeper option. He started and finished 2008 well, but struggled in the middle. If he can cut down on his walks, he should be in line for a fine season.

February 28, 2009

Dana Eveland fared well in his spring training debut Friday, as he needed only 13 pitches to retire all six batters over two innings of work against Milwaukee, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

His high number of walks last season could have been due to poor vision, and he is now wearing contacts and considering laser eye surgery after the season. He also admitted that he had trouble seeing the catcher's signs. The former top pick, who is slated to hold the No. 2 spot in the rotation, will begin creeping up draft boards if he continues to pitch well in the preseason.

February 27, 2009

Dana Eveland will start today's exhibition game against the Brewers, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

The former top pick is only 25 and has upside, and could move up draft boards with a strong spring, starting today.
