TEMPE, Ariz. — Tuesday’s result notwithstanding, Bob Melvin really likes what he’s seen in spring training — and not just the A’s winning record.
“It takes all of us to succeed and they’ve been very supportive of each other,” Melvin said Tuesday before the A’s played the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium. “It’s been one of the better camps that I’ve been a part of.”
Despite camp being a week longer than usual because of the World Baseball Classic, Melvin said, “I’ve really been happy with the way spring’s gone. The effort level, the team coming together, the dynamic in the clubhouse, pulling for each other.
