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 @cardboardgods: @Buster_ESPN My eyewitness opinion: Buster was VT's Danny "Little Red" Lopez of hay-bailing (i.e., the pound-for-pound champ). GM Neal Huntington and I grew up on dairy farms,so after talking Pirates on the podcast, we rated our farming skills. http://t.co/374zOHCiun
Only 242/337/385 at Triple-A so probably not soon. What say you @jasoncollette ? RT @Lou_Guida when do you see wil Myers getting a call up? Psyched for Trout on the Yankees!

Anybody who was watching knows why. RT @DannyKnoblerCBS: Kelvin Herrera is another example of how velocity isn't everything.
