25-year old righty reliever Ryan Cook will be the A’s only representative of the A’s at the All-Star Game in 2012. Cook has pitched in 35 games (0 starts) for the A’s so far this year and he is 2-2 with 7 saves, a 1.54 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. Cook has only given up 12 hits while whiffing 37 batters in his first 35 innings this year, which is impressive….but, he has also walked 21 batters which has gotten him in trouble at times. This will be Cook’s first All-Star Game appearance.
