I stumbled upon today's history lesson while projecting Rickie Weeks for next season. The Brewers' second baseman has been a frustrating player to own, landing on the DL six times in the last seven seasons...

Top-tier talents such as Chase Utley (86 games), Dustin Pedroia (123), Ian Kinsler (150) and Rickie Weeks (204) have all missed significant time due to injury over the last four seasons. Heck, even the likes of Brian Roberts, Aaron Hill, Freddy Sanchez and Carlos Guillen have missed time in recent seasons. The only stalwart?

After failing to deliver a full season since his debut in 2005 due to injuries and general suckiness, Rickie Weeks finally broke out last season, posting a dynamic 112-run, 29-HR, 83-RBI, 11-SB, .269-BA line at the second base position. Atop a potent Milwaukee Brewers lineup, Weeks led the league in plate appearances (754), while only Albert Pujols and Mark Teixeira scored more runs than him. Among qualifying two-baggers, Weeks tied Robinson Cano for the lead in HRs, and only Cano and Dan Uggla posted more RBI. There are, however, some red flags. Weeks had the 11th highest strikeout rate in 2010 (28.3 percent), and his contact rate (75.0 percent) was 17th worst among qualified batters...

Game No. 11 in our journey to score 162 games this baseball season featured the Brewers and Cubs in an exciting finish at Wrigley Field. Game No. 11 – Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Randy Wells was the story of the first half of this game, striking out six batters through four, all against the Brewers’ one through three batters (Rickie Weeks, Corey Hart, Ryan Braun). With two outs in the fifth, Rickie Weeks worked a nine-pitch at-bat, forcing Wells to labor for the first time all day. After fouling off three pitches and running the count full, Weeks delivered the Brewers’ first runs of the day, whacking a two-run double into the left-field corner that tied the game...
RT @RyanDivish: @StoneLarry with the confirm that Zunino is being called up. Wow. Definitely a little surprised. He was preparing the CWS a year ago RT @ajcbraves: #Braves Gattis in his past 17 games: 13-for-41 (.371) with 1 double, 7 homers, 17 RBIs, 5 walks, 8 strikeouts, .408 OBP, .854 slugging% RT @JamesWagnerWP: RT @AdamKilgoreWP Scott Boras says Bryce Harper had "no operative procedures" during his visit to Dr. James Andrews http://t.co/wQlleq0aZ2 If Ian Stewart prefers to be released, he'd have a better chance by offering to forgo remaining $1.3m salary for '13. http://t.co/RVz5c7K5EM
Both NFBC & ESPN have Hishashi Iwakuma as the #1 SP in fantasy baseball (5x5): 7 wins, 1.79 ERA, 0.82 WHIP & 87 K's in 95.1 IP #mindblown Thanks to @williamfleitch for having me on the podcast! We'll Tweet out the links when it's posted... \m/
My feature on Javier Baez, who hit four homers for the @daytonacubs last night: http://t.co/TlPYPQsoCi #Cubs Adam Dunn has 422 career homers; he's closing in on Cal Ripken and Billy Williams on the all-time HR list. http://t.co/wDjIVb9cYd With his outing tonight, Clayton Kershaw moves into the NL ERA lead; at 1.88, he's a hair above Shelby Miller (1.91). http://t.co/RkpOos6PJL Jason Marquis fun to watch because he doesn't have great stuff--87-88 mph sinkers, 82-83 sliders--but just lives in bottom edge of the zone.© 2013 Fantasy Baseball Insiders.
