The A's 2008 first-round pick isn't letting his minor-league assignment deter him from his goal of major-league stardom, however. Chris Biderman caught-up with the Miami alum. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1292762.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1292762.html Sun, 19 May 2013 04:28:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics Find out what went on around the Oakland A's system this weekend in the latest edition of our Oakland A's minor league notebook. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1287812.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1287812.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:35:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics The minor league season is roughly two weeks in.

However, with a win on Thursday and the return of Dan Straily to the rotation, things are looking up for the Oakland A's Triple-A affiliate. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1282955.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1282955.html Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:35:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics WEST SACRAMENTO - The Oakland A's current 25-man roster is flooded with players who can take the field at multiple positions. Those who are anchored to one position were at a disadvantage this spring when competing for a roster spot. Jemile Weeks was one of those players, but he is looking to enhance his versatility by asking to play some shortstop. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1282945.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1282945.html Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:46:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The Oakland A's got some bad injury news on Wednesday.

With only two weeks to go before Opening Day, the A's middle infield situation appears no clearer than it was at the start of spring. Chris Biderman takes a closer look. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1276542.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1276542.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 04:20:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics The Oakland A's didn't receive much offensive production from their middle infield in 2012, although late-season changes brought new life to the A's infield up-the-middle. The A's have brought in three new middle infielders this off-season and will have plenty of competition for playing time. We take a look at the battle up-the-middle inside... http://athletics.scout.com/2/1266835.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1266835.html Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:24:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics The Sacramento River Cats received yet another stellar pitching performance in their post-season series against the Reno Aces, and this time they were able to turn that performance into a win.

With the playoffs starting in early September, teams juggle the idea of promoting key prospects to the big leagues against keeping them in the minors to receive regular at-bats. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1219061.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1219061.html Fri, 07 Sep 2012 04:05:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics Hot News for 2B Jemile Weeks http://athletics.scout.com/a.z?s=304&p=9&c=2&cid=1216234&nid=6509377&fhn=1 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/a.z?s=304&p=9&c=2&cid=1216234&nid=6509377&fhn=1 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:57:43 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics September is coming up quickly and that means that major league rosters will expand from a limit of 25 to a limit of 40. Over the past few years, September has meant an opportunity for the Oakland A’s to try-out younger players at the major league level. This year, the A’s will be looking to fortify their roster for a run at the post-season. We look at some potential September call-up candidates. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1215921.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1215921.html Wed, 29 Aug 2012 05:37:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics The Burlington Bees mounted a big comeback in a key game against the Kane County Cougars on Sunday night.

But they lost the first game of this week’s series against the Minnesota Twins, a team that came into the series losers of nine of 10. Then, the A's front office sprung into action. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1213653.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1213653.html Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:55:00 GMT 0 304 Oakland athletics The Oakland A's have been struggling to score runs and are now faced with the daunting task of taking on the staff of the two-time American League champions in a four-game series.

This season the club will lean on a pair of former first-round picks in Cliff Pennington and Jemile Weeks to solidify the middle of the diamond and perhaps the top of the batting order. We take a look at the A's middle infield situation inside... http://athletics.scout.com/2/1157340.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1157340.html Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:53:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics What a difference a year makes. Last season, Jemile Weeks entered spring training on a mission to prove that his two-plus, injury-plagued minor league seasons were not a true indication of his talent. Having accomplished that goal in 2011, Weeks now has only to worry about getting ready to be the Oakland A's everyday second baseman and leadoff hitter for 2012. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1155522.html 2047 Chris Biderman http://athletics.scout.com/2/1155522.html Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:35:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics Our "2011 Year In Review" series concludes with a look at the hitters on the Oakland A's Triple-A affiliate. http://athletics.scout.com/2/1139289.html 2047 Melissa Lockard http://athletics.scout.com/2/1139289.html Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:52:00 GMT 1 304 Oakland athletics
