In Mesa, Oakland coaches map new positions for stars with Rudi moving toward first base and Jackson set to regain right field when season opens. Finley eyes Claudel Washington to handle left, while Tenace shifts back to catcher if needed. Hunter's departure leaves shaky pitching, with Blue and Holtzman as anchors and Lindblad the sole lefty reliever.
