Elephant Rumblings: Young position players offering hope, excitement

Happy Tuesday, all!

The first few games since the promotions of Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof hasn’t translated to wins just yet. Since their debuts with the A’s on Friday the club is winless in four contests, including getting swept by a Twins team hovering around .500 but still in first place in the AL Central.

And yet if you’ve been watching the games you can tell there’s more energy among the players. The A’s were right in it until the end in every game of that Twins series, including a couple one-run losses. The offense has looked a lot better (outside of last night) and there’s a feel of more excitement for the team now.
