Player Notes
October 7, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Brewers fully expect Rickie Weeks to be the team's starting second baseman in 2010.

Our View:Weeks will be fully healthy at the start of next season after missing all but 37 games in 2009, but that is hardly a guarantee that he will stay healthy. He was off to the most productive start of his career before getting injured this year, but he remains a very risky player, both for the Brewers and in fantasy leagues. The talent is there but the injury risk is beyond great and he has some mental hurdles to overcome. Don't waste anything more than a late flyer on him in next year's draft.

MLB.com reports that injured second baseman Rickie Weeks has finally ruled out a return to the diamond this season.

Our View:Tell us something we didn't already know, Rickie. Weeks, who went down May 17th on an awkward swing, had wrist surgery three days later and the team pronounced him done for the year. With the Brewers well out of the race in the NL Central (12 games back), it seems foolish to try and rush him back in 2009. He will be arbitration eligible next season, and finished the year hitting .272 with nine homers and 24 RBI in 37 games.

Rickie Weeks underwent successful surgery on his left wrist Wednesday, according to MLBlogs.com. Weeks will have the wrist immobilized for at least two months.

Our View:Weeks is still going to be out for the year, but at least nothing went wrong during surgery. He will have the wrist in a splint for the next two weeks and will then be in a long cast for about six weeks. Don't expect him to make a miraculous return at the end of the year, as the team has said he is done for 2009.
May 19, 2009
Rickie Weeks has been placed on the 15-day DL, according to the Sports Network. The Brewers recalled infielder Hernan Iribarren from Triple-A Nashville to fill his spot on the roster.

Our View:As previously stated, Weeks is expected to miss the remainder of the 2009 campaign due to a tear in his left wrist. Weeks' long streak of bad luck with injuries continues.
May 18, 2009
The Associated Press is reporting that Rickie Weeks is out for the season due to a tear in his left wrist. He will be replaced by Craig Counsell at second base for the Brewers.

Our View:This is bad news for the Brewers. They didn't think the injury would be this bad, so this news comes as a bit of a surprise. Counsell will get time at second base for now, but don't be surprised if the Brewers call up prospect Alcides Escobar in the near future.
