Athletics manager Bob Melvin indicated Saturday that Phil Humber could be utilized in a swing role during the 2014 season. The 30-year-old has been a disaster the past few seasons, but has the ability to start and relieve, and could make the team out of spring training as a potential long man in the bullpen. If not, he'll likely head to Triple-A where he'll represent additional rotation depth.
