The A’s record isn’t something to be proud of at the moment but there have been a few interesting things happening on the field for the team. Rookie center fielder Esteury Ruiz has taken off (literally) and become a fixture atop the batting order while causing havoc on the base paths. He currently leads all of baseball with 28 stolen bases. Ryan Noda, the Rule 5 pick who has been hitting in the top third of the batting order almost everyday is thriving. The power isn’t quite what you’d hope for from a first baseman but he definitely draws more than his share of walks to help make up for that.
