The Oakland A's announced today that they have agreed to terms with Jemile Weeks, their first round selection from the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.

From the A's press release (if you didn't already know Jemile's story)...

Weeks earned first team All-ACC honors this year at the University of Miami and batted .363 with 13 home runs and 62 RBI in 63 games.  He also had 17 doubles and five triples for a .641 slugging percentage and was successful in 22 of 23 stolen base attempts.  The 21-year old junior was also named a Louisville Slugger First Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball and is the brother of the Milwaukee Brewers’ Rickie Weeks.  The switch-hitter was originally drafted by the Brewers in the eighth round of the 2005 draft but did not sign and attended Miami.  He is the Hurricanes all-time leader in triples (18).  Weeks was selected with the 12th overall pick in the draft, the earliest the A’s have drafted a player since 1999 when they selected Barry Zito with the ninth overall pick.
