With Opening Day a mere four days away, the Oakland A’s still have not decided who will be the team’s starting center fielder.
The rotation had been set, basically by default, with the team’s starting pitchers dropping like flies to injuries. The infield is complete beginning with Jonathan Lucroy at catcher, Matt Olson at first base, Jed Lowrie at second base, Marcus Semien at shortstop, and Matt Chapman at third base. Right field belongs to Stephen Piscotty and left field will be a combination of Matt Joyce and Khris Davis, although Davis will mostly serve as the A’s designated hitter.
