Melvin mum on Jemile Weeks/Ellis situation

When asked how the second base situation will shake out once Mark Ellis is back, Athletics interim manager Bob Melvin would say only that "If Jemile (Weeks) is here, he's going to play some. He's played well."

The guess here is that Weeks will get the majority of the playing time at second base, with Ellis maybe playing a couple days per week and being a prime trade candidate before the deadline. But, it wouldn't be shocking if Weeks is sent down to play every day at Triple-A. We should know more Wednesday, when Ellis is activated.
