A Few Good Weeks

Since my default Brewer man-crush, Bill Hall currently has a lower average than Chad Moeller, I want to give some big ups to Rickie Weeks. In the two weeks since the season began, Rickie has been putting to rest any doubts as to his health after a freak bat-wiggling incident put him on the DL last summer. Heading into Sunday’s ass-whooping at the hands of the hated Cards, Weeks was on pace to hit 48 home runs and score 102 runs this season. While these early stats are very encouraging, the most significant projection is Rickie’s current pace for total errors this season: zero. This is pretty great considering Rickie led the major leagues in errors by a second baseman last season even though he only played in 95 games. If he’d been in all year we may have seen some kind of horrible record. Ricky hasn’t played more than 100 games in a season yet so we’ll have to wait and see if he can keep up a high level of play for an entire season. I think this guy is going to be a superstar pretty soon. I just hope we can hang on to him for a few years before he gets too expensive. Now if I could just figure out what’s up with that stump of a bat Rickie uses. It looks like a table leg.
