With 2 Middle-Infield Questions, A's Will Need Newcomer Lowrie
PHOENIX, Ariz. (CBS Sports) -- When the Oakland A's traded for Jed Lowrie, they didn't have a full-time position for him. They said he'd play, but they said he might be moving around.

The problem then: They already had starters at every spot.
The problem now: They don't like those starters.
A's people say Japanese free-agent Hiroyuki Nakajima has been so unimpressive at shortstop that they now describe the position as "open." But they say Scott Sizemore has been equally unimpressive at second base.
