Sean Doolittle is the new Face of the Oakland Athletics

+

Eric Sogard carried the A's all the way to the final vote in 2014. This year, we'll see what Doo can do. Given his strong Twitter presence, his popularity, and his ample beard, he's got a good chance to make a deep run. The bracket starts on Jan. 15, and Doolittle will go up against the Face of the Houston Astros in the first round -- you'd have to assume that will be Jose Altuve again, as it was last year. Personally, I think Stephen Vogt would have been the best possible choice for the Face of the A's, but Doolittle is a fine selection and was a close second in my mind. Congratulations and good luck to Doo in the 2015 balloting!
