	Explain this to me. A batting average below .200 and not even a top defensive 2nd baseman.

	30 runs scored. If anything, hes a good luck charm for the guys behind him. Our other option is Counsell, so. . .

	As Badge mentioned, he simply scores runs. He has the 8th most runs scored in the entire MLB despite his .188 AVG and .313 OBP. He's not gonna have an average that low all season and he'll continue to pile on the runs when his lumber heats up.

	He has great tools. Excellent power for a 2B and very good speed.His numbers by the end of the year will be good.

	By whom exactly...theres absolutely no one in the minors that can caome up and be better than Weeks...the only possible idea is a 2B by a trade....and the only stud 2B are Robinson Cano and Chase Utley basically Rickie will be in the MLB for the rest of the year....scores too many runs he has been hitting the ball really hard into outs

	Ricky Weeks has the night off. Rest and maybe come back on fire, that would be just fine.

	First of all, the man's name is spelled Rickie Weeks, and he gets a lot of walks, stolen bases and runs scored. Also, he'll show some power every now and then. His average will soon rise.
