LAS VEGAS (AP) — http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/cooper-kupp-jersey , the Oakland Athletics cringe.They definitely don’t want their prized baseball prospect hurt on the football field.The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Oklahoma has made himself many new fans in the A’s organization — except when he dashes from the pocket.Murray is a shifty runner, often breaking loose for big gains. He’ll next play Dec. 29 when he leads the fourth-ranked Sooners against bruising No. 1 Alabama in a college football semifinal.“We are big Oklahoma fans right now, for sure. It’s kind of tough to watch him scramble around a little bit sometimes. But still, it’s exciting,” Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday at the winter meetings.The Athletics are counting on Murray wearing an Oakland jersey in a few months at spring training, sharpening his skills as an outfielder.Drafted last June in the first round as the ninth overall pick, Murray signed with Oakland for $4.66 million. There was an agreement between the team and Murray that he would play football this year, then skip his senior season to begin his pro baseball career.Murray showed off his skills at the Coliseum in an A’s uniform back in June. Melvin http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/jared-goff-jersey , executive Billy Beane and general manager David Forst are just a few of the A’s brass who have been watching him closely ever since as he guides Oklahoma.Not to mention some potential division opponents.“I’m watching Oklahoma football,” Angels general manager Billy Eppler said, smiling and chuckling from his suite high above the Las Vegas Strip. “He seems like a very remarkable athlete. We’ve known that a little bit about him, even from his high school days. He was a two-sport All-American in high school, Mr. Everything. I know somebody that has come in contact with him even back when he was just coming out of high school. His quarterback development and all those types of things, I have some common friends from some NFL commonalities, and he’s really fun to watch. It will be interesting to see how all that unfolds.”Melvin is watching more Oklahoma games than he expected, noting: “We are pulling hard for them.”“You’re reading before the season started is he going to be the starter there and the next thing you know he’s the Heisman Trophy winner and has a chance to win national championship Brandin Cooks Jersey Elite ,” Melvin said.Murray is represented by agent Scott Boras, and the A’s fully expect Murray to pursue baseball.“He’s one of the great athletes you’re going to see,” Melvin said. “How many guys are able to … drafted in the first round … Heisman Trophy winner? There aren’t many of those guys. You know athletically he can handle just about anything.”Melvin certainly has envisioned Murray as an A’s major leaguer one day.“Sure,” Melvin said. “I don’t know when.” Todd Warshaw/Getty ImagesRick Ankiel is 39 years old and hasn't appeared in a major league game since the 2013 season, but he is not closing the door on a comeback.Ankiel revealed he is "toying with" the idea of pitching professionally again, per Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports. "I have nothing to lose," he added. "I'm not afraid. I might as well try."Brown explained Ankiel publicly struggled with "anxiety pangs" and "yips" as a pitcher and ultimately gave it up at the professional level in 2005, choosing to move to the outfield. However http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/brandin-cooks-jersey , he has spent some of his retirement serving as a coach and mentor to those who deal with similar issues and showed himself enough to give it another try.Ankiel pitched Wednesday in a tournament featuring a number of retired major leaguers, including Chipper Jones, Jake Peavy, Roy Oswalt and Johnny Damon, and competed at a high enough level to entertain the notion of a comeback."My kids have never seen me play, never seen me pitch," Ankiel said when explaining his mindset, pet Brown. "And I feel like I'm in a better place."There was a time he appeared well on his way to a dominant pitching career in 2000 with the St. Louis Cardinals when he posted a 3.50 ERA Authentic Robert Woods Jersey , 1.30 WHIP and 194 strikeouts in 175 innings with a fastball and curveball combination that was deadly for hitters.It is a testament to his will that even after his struggles, he played through the 2013 season for the Cardinals, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros and New York Mets. He hit .240 in his career and drilled 25 long balls in 2008 with the Cardinals.Returning nearly 15 years after Ankiel last pitched in the major leagues is an incredibly tall task, but so was going from someone who couldn't find the strike zone on the mound to a source of power in the middle of St. Louis' lineup.
