Whether A’s fans have figured it out or approved of it is another matter.

What I see is homer hitting Chris Carter at third base and stud hitter Adrian Cardenas at shortstop. (Both players recently were switched to these positions at Single A Stockton.) At second base, you have Jemile Weeks, Gregorio Petit or Eric Patterson if the club does not want to keep Mark Ellis. First base goes to Sean Doolittle, a great glove with a great bat.

The outfield ultimately will be Carlos Gonzalez, Ryan Sweeney, Aaron Cunningham, and Travis Buck as a backup.

Pitching will be Trevor Cahill, Brett Anderson, Gio Gonzalez, Greg Smith, and Sean Gallagher.

Catching will be Kurt Suzuki and Josh Donaldson.

How much of this can happen in 2009 depends on trades, injury updates, and other factors which keep this a fluid situation for now.
