For the most part, the Oakland A’s lineup is set. We know who the starters, or at least the primary players, will be in almost every position. The one exception is at second base, where the A’s have a multitude of candidates for the job, but little in the way of clarity.
One player that has yet to be mentioned as a candidate is Nick Allen.
