However, in 1998 Alejo has a brand-new team to work with. Sure, slugger Jose Canseco is back where he started, and base-stealer Rickey Henderson has also returned to the fold, but in essence the team is starting over.<br><br>About the upcoming season, Alejo says the A s are looking to build a good solid base and do what other teams have done in the past: start at the bottom and build up.  Morale now isn t any different from any other season starting out we re eager to go out and compete against other teams and see how good we are. I don t think anybody is assuming we re going to be a poor baseball team to the contrary, everybody is prepared to work hard and play hard, and they expect to win. <br><br>The base the A s build this year starts with Alejo s program.  One of the biggest mistakes any coach makes is to look at someone else s winning program and say,  Let s do it because they re winning. This type of reasoning is ludicrous, says Alejo.  We have a young, developing team. We re going back to the basics, getting baseline data and aggressively charting our progress. <br><br>The Athletics off-season training runs from November 1 to February 15. The athletes programs vary according to specific needs, and weight training sessions may last anywhere from a half hour to an hour and a half. Plyos, sprint training, agility drills and nutrition are also addressed. In-season training offers three training periods to choose from: morning, afternoon and evening. Usual
