There are some new baby-A’s to gawk at and gush over, but the team on the field is still plenty capable of providing some excitement. The month of June has seen the A’s fall further out of the race, still, but it has also seen the beginning of the A’s long-overdue youth movement. Jaycob Brugman has been called up from Triple A to help bolster an A’s outfield that currently can either barely hit or barely field, or both, and the red-hot Matt Olson has forced himself onto the roster and has been getting more playing time lately. According to Susan Slusser, a talent like Matt Chapman could potentially be due for a callup before the end of the month to take over third base.
