36. Carney Lansford

Carney Lansford joined Oakland in 1983 two years removed after winning the Batting Title with the Boston Red Sox.

Lansford would not win a Batting Title as an Athletic, but he batted .300 in his first two years in Oakland and would do so again in 1989.  Lansford played good defense at Third Base, and he had a beautiful blend of power and speed, showcasing five seasons of at least 10 Home Runs, peaking at 19 in both 1986 and 1987.  He would also have five straight 16 or more Stolen Base seasons (1986-90) with Oakland, which was surprising considering he went the four years prior without reaching the double-digit mark.
