I agree that somewhere in that list of players you mentioned is a solution to Oakland's 3B problem. @NathanielStoltz Yeah, considering Sizemore hit pretty well against lefties the idea to platoon Sizemore with another player like Sogard sounds like a good one.

He's got to cut down on the whiffs, or else he's going to struggle to hit over .235. I would think he's useful enough against lefties. Maybe a platoon with Sizemore and Sogard or Cardenas would solve the problem. Wes Timmons deserves to be in the picture as well, and Parker could be ready at some point in 2012. Chances are, there's a good solution somewhere in there, but it's anyone's guess as to which player it is.
