With spring training having yet to even arrive, the A’s already appear set at so many positions around the diamond.
We know that Coco Crisp (if healthy), Billy Burns and Josh Reddick figure to make up the starting outfield. Barring unforeseen moves, the infield (looking left to right) will feature Danny Valencia, Marcus Semien, Jed Lowrie and Yonder Alonso, with Mark Canha splitting time with Alonso at first and playing some outfield too. Stephen Vogt will be the primary catcher if he recovers on schedule from elbow surgery, and Billy Butler returns as the designated hitter.
So what does that mean for the rest of the roster?
