The Oakland Athletics are just finishing up a very uneventful offseason and are already looking ahead to the spring. The vast majority of the roster was kept intact with few positions battles expected to take place come March.
But one position that remains unsolved is second base.
The A’s have a collection of young and unproven players all vying for playing time at the position. In reality, there are five players who could all emerge as the primary starting option by the time Opening Day rolls around.
In an ideal scenario, the A’s would love to see someone like Franklin Barreto claim the job.
