The A's desperately need left-handed hitting.
I said this before, in my Matt Joyce article last week. But man, it remains true. The Athletics' best hitters are all righties –Khris Davis, Ryon Healy, Marcus Semien. Their two top prospects, Matt Chapman and Franklin Barreto? Both righties.
All great players! But in a league where around 70% of the starting pitchers are right-handed, you're going to need some lefties, even if left-handed people are bad luck and probably inherently evil.
The A's best lefties are Stephen Vogt, Bruce Maxwell, and, uh, Matt Olson, I guess.
