Athletics' Santiago Casilla: Could be in camp within 1-2 days

Casilla still has not reported to camp, but the A's are hopeful he will be able to report within a day or two, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Casilla has been delayed by a visa issue as he returns from his home in the Dominican Republic. Signed as a free agent this offseason, the reliever is expected to compete for a setup role behind closer Ryan Madson after spending the last seven seasons with the crosstown Giants. Even if Casilla does report to camp, he won't be there long. The World Baseball Classic begins for the Dominican Republic on March 9.
