The left handed reliever

At the moment the A's have six lefties in big league camp:

Braden
Eveland
Anderson
Gonzalez
Outman
Blevins

All but Blevins have, or are in the running for a rotation spot. Well, as per rotoworld, Gio has just been removed from the hunt due to a bum wing that has kept him off the bump. It would seem pretty obvious then that Blevins, if only by default, would be the lone lefty out of the pen to begin the season. But the month of March has not been kind to the tall left hander.

Today he was touched up for 6 hits and 3 runs in just one inning of work, balloning his spring ERA to 11.74. That's just not gonna cut it. Even when you are seemingly competing against yourself for a spot. Of course, Jerry isn't competing against himself.

Outman and Gio are very much factors in the bullpen competition. Note what Bob Geren said about Gio's situation earlier today:

"He just hasn't been able to throw enough [to be considered for the rotation at this point]."

While time isn't on his side--he isn't expected to do any throwing for another week--the possibility does remain that Gio could open the season in the pen. Using Gio as a reliever wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but it's also far from ideal.

Gio's 23, a former top prospect and has a career minor league K/9 ratio of 10.5. Dude should be starting somewhere. Be it in Oakland or Sacramento. The same could be said for Outman to a slightly lesser extent. Which brings me to two questions. One. When do organizational needs trump development needs of individual players? Two. Who the heck is going to be the lefty out of the pen?

So who do you like:
Outman
Gio (if healthy)
Blevins
Other (outside of organization)
None
