Rickie Weeks

Bill Hall, Craig Counsell, and young prospect Casey Mcghee (likely towards the end of the season). Rickie Weeks and JJ Hardy will patrol the middle infield, but look for prospect Alicides Escobar to steal time from Weeks if he puts up disappointing numbers once again. The Brewers still have the prototype first baseman in Prince Fielder and he will need to continue to be a gargantuan run producer in the middle of the lineup. Catcher is an offensive weakness with Jason Kendall, the Brewers have prospects behind the plate (Angel Salome) but it is doubtful to see any of them before september. Defensive Grade: 88 B+ Offensive Grade: 92 A-

recent acquisition of veteran Ray Durham, who should shore up their leadoff spot, as well as allow Rickie Weeks the time off he sometimes needs when mired in a slump. Since they’ve already gambled their future on C.C. Sabathia—who’s looked amazing so far, winning all three starts and throwing complete games in two of them—it only makes sense for them to do whatever they can to push for the pennant this year.
