I'm going to float a player out here that I think would be a good fit:
Chris Young. Yes, he strikes out far too much, but he has legitimate pop from the right hand side and has played center at a very high level in the past.
His UZR fell of the cliff last year, but I wonder if some of that is due to the wonkiness of Oakland as a park.
I think he'd be a good fit as platoon CF against LHP (121 +RC career against and an OPS of over .800, although those numbers were down last year), as well as a late innings defensive replacement for Oscar in center.
