More 2017 A’s outfield previews: Has a new candidate emerged?

However, a new candidate has emerged to be the Oakland Athletics main backup outfielder. First let’s take a look at the team’s probable starters for center and right field.

Rajai Davis

Rajai Davis will be the A’s starting center fielder in 2017. With the exception of an injury, the job is essentially his.

He is capable of playing anywhere in the outfield but the 36-year-old veteran has spent the majority of his career playing in center field.

After starting his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2006, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants in 2007 and to the Athletics in 2008.
