September 30, 2008 The team will make a decision on Alan Embree's $3 million option after the World Series, according to the SF Chronicle.
March 11, 2008 Alan Embree blew his second save opportunity of the spring on Monday and is carrying a 15.75 ERA. In his defense, he has been nursing a stiff back.
February 28, 2008 Alan Embree, who has been nursing a stiff back the past few days, threw 35 pitches Wednesday, according to Contra Costa Times. The A's left-hander is on track to pitch Friday.
September 28, 2007 Alan Embree is expected to rejoin the A's today after being away from the team while tending to a family matter, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Embree hasn't pitched since Sept. 15 - not that fantasy owners are too overly concerned about it.
August 16, 2007 Alan Embree worked the eighth inning Wednesday against Chicago - giving up two runs - while Huston Street came on for the save in the ninth, striking out the side. And with that, it looks like things could be back to normal in the Oakland bullpen going forward, with Embree working in a set-up role and Street reclaiming his closer job. We'll see what the A's say about this as the week goes along, but even if Embree's ninth-inning work is done for the year, he had a heck of a run - 15 saves that no one expected. Stay tuned.
