Jemile Weeks drives in three for A's

Jemile Weeks doubled, singled and drove in three runs for the A's in the win over the Royals on Thursday.
Weeks is making a strong case for keeping a starting job after Mark Ellis returns next week. He's 11-for-32 and has three triples already since his callup. Despite batting ninth in eight of his nine games, Weeks has five RBI already. Ellis had 15 in 59 games, and he was always batting seventh or higher.

Weeks has really settled in since being called up and has one more week until Mark Ellis can be activated from the disabled list. If he keeps anything resembling his current pace, Weeks will put the A’s in a position where they have to decide what to do with Ellis as opposed to deciding what to do with Weeks.
