Elephant Rumblings: Gelof looking ready for a breakout

Happy Tuesday everyone!

He’s already a lock for the Opening Day roster but Zack Gelof looks like he might be ready to take the league by storm. The second baseman has been on absolute fire this spring, hitting .387/.441/.774 with three home runs, the third of which came yesterday during his 3-hit day. Having already introduced himself to A’s fans and baseball fans as a whole, Gelof is the betting favorite to be the Athletics’ representative at the Midsummer Classic. Yes it’s spring training but he can out of the gates hot last year too, when he first got the call to the big leagues If he can keep this up throughout the season he could maybe even garner MVP votes.
