Oakland A's Opening Day: 5 questions for 2015 1. Where will the power come from? My guess: The biggest power will come from Brett Lawrie and Mark Canha. Lawrie is just itching to have that big breakout season, and Canha will be a poor man's Moss. Ike Davis will beef up the lineup even further when they're facing a righty. 2. Who will step up in the bullpen? My guess: O'Flaherty rediscovers himself, like so many other pitchers have done in Oakland. When Doo returns, O'Fats and Clipp become the lefty/righty set-up duo. 3. Will the rotation pan out or flame out? Here is the Opening Day rotation: 1. Sonny Gray 2. Jesse Hahn 3. Scott Kazmir 4. Kendall Graveman 5. Drew Pomeranz My guess: I picked Graveman to make the rotation at the start of spring, and he did so with flying colors. I'll stay with my hot pick and say Graveman has the second-best season of the A's starters. That doesn't mean the others will flame out, and I think the rotation will be good 1-thru-5, but Graveman in particular will be a standout. 4. Can Marcus Semien stick at shortstop? My guess: Semien will be fine. I'm highly confident that he'll hit well enough, especially for the middle infield, and I think he'll be at least as good as Lowrie was on defense. That's a low bar, but getting a clone of 2013 Lowrie would be just fine. (Note that I also think Ladendorf will find a way to stick in MLB for most or all of the year.) 5. Does Ben Zobrist have another Ben Zobrist season left in him? Here are Zobrist's bWAR by season (Baseball-Reference Wins Above Replacement): 2009: 8.6 (3rd in MLB) 2010: 4.6 2011: 8.7 (T-2nd in MLB) 2012: 5.7 2013: 4.8 2014: 5.0 My guess: What do you think I'm going to say? I've been waiting years to see Zobrist play for my team, hoping one day he'd don the green and gold. Now I have him. I've already got a mental image of what his B-Ref page will look like with a 6-win season listed under 2015. Or better, I'm not picky. 全文 http://www.athleticsnation.com/2015/4/6/8356069/oakland-athletics-mlb-opening-d ay-2015-questions-marcus-semien-ben-zobrist 缩网址 http://goo.gl/jpPH9G --
