A’s Looking For Starting Pitching

Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the A's are looking outside the organization for starting pitchers because they don't want to overwork rookies Brett Anderson, Trevor Cahill and Vin Mazzaro. The A's considered going to a six-man rotation, but Justin Duchscherer and Dallas Braden are on the DL. Slusser mentions former A's starter Mark Mulder as a possible addition.
