It appears the Oakland A’s have found their leadoff hitter. A little more than a month ago I opined that the A’s were in need of a change at the top of the lineup - a sentiment many in Athletics nation shared. My answer then was Matt Chapman. My answer now is one the A’s seemingly agree with: outfielder Nick Martini.
However, just as Yoda famously revealed in The Empire Strikes Back, there is another. Versus right-handed pitcher Nick Martini has leadoff duty well covered. Against southpaws, though, I think it’s time Ramon Laureano is given a shot.
