Oakland A’s Shake Off Injuries, Buck Odds to join Playoff Hunt
Despite a long list of injuries and an underachieving bullpen, Oakland again is leaning on a few young stars and no-name role players to nab a playoff spot.
The Town’s soccer franchise returns to the pitch this weekend with a new head coach and other fresh faces, kicking off its second season in front of Oakland's loud, loyal fans at Laney College.
In what will be their most important offseason in decades, the A's are working to build a new Oakland ballpark and bolster a deep roster so young and talented it could make them baseball's Team of the Twenties.
