Athletics pitcher Ben Sheets has struggled mightily this spring.

An American League scout sitting behind the plate during Sheets' latest outing said the righthander's fastball was hitting 91-92 mph, but was "big," or awfully straight.

"Everything was clicking, but it was one of those days - they were hitting everything, there's nothing you can do," A's catcher Kurt Suzuki said following the game against the Reds. "The positive thing is Ben felt great."
