According to comments made by A's GM Billy Beane, Josh Reddick will be a starter somewhere in the Oakland outfield in 2012. Reddick himself would prefer center-field, but will obviously take anything that's offered. Josh made some nice comments about Boston:"Playing in Boston was a pleasure. Fenway has so much history, the fans are so supportive and they get into the game. It's tough to leave something like that, especially when it's your first team."
Meantime, Ryan Sweeney is quoted as saying that both Valentine and Cherington told him his "line-drive" swing is tailor-made for Fenway Park. This might indicate that Sweeney is being tabbed for more playing time than a lot of us would like.
