Our 2019 Community Prospect List now has two members, and they’re both left-handed starting pitchers on the cusp of the majors. That’s good news, because there isn’t anything in the world the A’s need more than lefty starters (except maybe a new stadium?). Here’s the current list, including their winning margins (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
- Jesus Luzardo, LHP (+78%)
- A.J. Puk, LHP (+7%)
Call it a mulligan for Puk. He topped this list last year, in a similar landslide as Luzardo did this time.
