OAKLAND -- Now Jason Windsor knows what it was like for the bands that used to open for the Beatles.
Windsor, Oakland's top pitching prospect, threw in a simulated game Saturday morning, but his outing was merely between-innings entertainment for the healthy crowd of media, players, coaches and A's executives who took in the successful four-inning simulated outing of rehabbing righty Rich Harden.
Harden, who has been on the disabled list with a strained elbow ligament since June 5 and has thrown four big-league innings since late April, when he was DL'd with a back strain, threw 60 pitches to a collection of A's reserves before the second game of a three-game series against the visiting White Sox.
