Around the Horn: Davis has new company in A's outfield

This is the sixth of a multipart Around the Horn series that features a position-by-position look at the A's projected starters and backup options heading into the 2017 season.

Who's in the outfield?

Left fielder Khris Davis, who bopped 42 home runs last season, has new company -- center fielder Rajai Davis is back with the A's on a one-year deal, and Matt Joyce signed on for two years in a likely platoon role in right field. Joyce's partner has not yet been determined, but the two primary candidates are Mark Canha and Jake Smolinski.
