FROM KEITH GROLLER
Nothing official yet from the Oakland Athletics, but we've heard from several people this morning that Catasauqua High graduate Anthony Recker has been told he will be promoted to the A's big-league club and will be in New York City on Tuesday when the A's face the New York Yankees.
That's a 7:05 p.m. game in the Bronx.
The 6-foot-2, 240-pound catcher, who will turn 28 a week from today, was hitting .287 with 61 runs scored, 24 doubles, 16 home runs and 48 RBIs at Triple-A Sacramento. He was chosen to the Pacific Coast League all-star team last month and played in the Triple-A All-Star Game.
In three Triple-A seasons, spanning 257 games, Recker was hitting .279 with 38 home runs and 135 RBIs.
The right-handed hitter was taken in the 18th round by the A's in the 2005 amateur draft after a storied career at Alvernia College.
As a senior at Alvernia in 2005, Recker hit .461 in 47 games with 31 extra-base hits, including 16 home runs. He drove in 62 runs and scored 50.
