When Josh Harrison was acquired by the Oakland A’s, the expectation was that he would slide into a super utility role. Capable of playing both corner outfield positions, second, and third, Harrison was likely to slot around the diamond, getting a good amount of playing time even if it was not at one specific area. With Ramon Laureano being suspended for a failed PED test, that seemed even more likely.
