Prospect to watch: Ramon Laureano, OF. The 24-year-old was electric during Oakland’s playoff push and looks to be a defensive star in center field. Although 48 games in the majors is a small sample size, he flashed some power and speed. There are concerns about his strikeout rate (50 Ks in 156 at-bats), but Laureano should be starting on opening day and has the tools to stick. He has a .271 career minor league batting average and .800 on-base plus slugging percentage. He has 100 steals in 124 career attempts in 395 minor league games. He also has 45 homers, 76 doubles, 22 triples and 199 RBI.

GEOFF BURKE/USA TODAY SPORTS Jesus Luzardo, shown pitching during the 2018 All-Star Futures Game, could claim a spot in the starting rotation.
