Player Profile #49: Rickie Weeks | 2B | MIL

Despite missing about a third of last season, Rickie Weeks is not the injury risk he used to be. He’s played more than 129 games just once in his major league career (a scary thought when you consider he’s been in the league since 2005), but he led the league in plate appearances in 2010 and might have done the same last season if not for a freak ankle injury. When we...

Player Profile #190: Jemile Weeks | 2B | OAK

You better not blink because you just might miss him. Jemile, the younger brother of Rickie Weeks, showed us in 2011 exactly what type of value he brings to fantasy — speed. It’s funny because in the minors he had a total of 41 steals in 1018 plate appearances (24.8 PA/SB), but in his rookie season he stole 22 bases in just 437 PA (19.9 PA/SB). He also has the potential...

The Weeks of the Storm

I just read this. So I wrote this awesome awful average? come on give me average poem. It's my site, I do what I want. It is coming and it is loud. It is strong and it is proud. It is coming, it has vowed. It is not a call that can be dropped. More like a train that will not be stopped. Or a bubble that just won't pop. Like a tornado, throwing things around.

Weeks' impact in final stretch remains unclear

MILWAUKEE -- Due to theimmense length of the Major League Baseball season, much stock is put in the concept of players developing a rhythm from day to day and thriving on routines to maintain consistency.

Roenicke standing by struggling 2B Weeks

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is willing to play Rickie Weeks as long as the struggling second baseman's ailing ankle will allow. "You guys still see the ankle, it isn't right. We knew it wouldn't be," Roenicke said. "But we were hoping offensively that he would get locked in and be able to really hold down that fifth spot, which we've talked about all year." ...

Brew Year’s Resolutions

It's been more than two weeks, over a fortnight, since the world awoke to a new year.

What we learned about the Brewers this Weekend

The Brewers dropped 3 of 4 games at home to the Phillies and were outscored 17-10.  The win Sunday ended a 5-game losing streak, and their lead in the NL Central now sits at 6 games over the Cardinals. Maybe the most obvious thing we saw in this series is that the Phillies are REALLY good. That pitching rotation is widely discussed, reviewed, and drooled over for a reason. Halladay...

Fantasy Baseball 2012: Second Basemen Tiers

Your fantasy baseball draft(s) are right around the corner.  Here’s my try at separating 25 second basemen into six tiers. Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier. Let me know what you think and check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers. Tier 1: Robinson Cano, Ian...

Middle Infield ADP Trends

Building a solid middle infield is one of the keys to success in fantasy baseball.  Yes, having mashers at first base, a well rounded outfield and solid starting pitching are keys as well, but you can grab a distinct advantage over your opponents by having a stronger middle infield.  Traditionally the shallowest of positions out there, second base and shortstop have plenty of talent...
