Last weekend I profiled Jordan Diaz and Lucas Erceg, citing alphabetical order for the choice of players. But I forgot that I was going to include JJ Bleday, who isn’t Ricky Ledee, so today we back up the alphabet truck to the “B” section and then continue on our merry way through a number of young A’s players who may — or may not — be worthy of keeping.
JJ Bleday
Bleday is steeped in pedigree, having been drafted as the #4 overall pick of the Miami Marlins in 2019. It’s also true that given the lost 2020 MiLB season, Bleday is relatively young even for a 25 year old who will turn 26 next month.
