Last week, the Oakland Athletics signed former Chicago White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo to a minor league contract, and San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser reported via Twitter that he would report to Nashville within the week. In an outfield where the only every-day player is right fielder Josh Reddick, this move leaves A’s fans to speculate on how Billy Beane intends to use his new acquisition.
Billy Burns has been an unexpectedly productive member of the A’s offense this season.
