Complete rip off of Sheffield batting stance. Does the rocking of the bat thing.

It's the worse impersonation of a player since Harold Minor tried to be "Baby Jordan".

I watched him play last year with AA Huntsville Stars. He is pretty exciting to watch but only batted average and had too many errors. He is very fast and has lots of potential which is why they called him up to AAA this year. He is doing very well so far with a few stolen bases and has driven in some much needed runs.

The other guy that played at Huntsville last year is Prince Fielder who is pinch hitting some and batting .333 so far. He can really hit some moon shots. He had lots of errors last year playing first but he can blast it. He is Cecil's son.. built just like him.

Two to watch for sure.

Ricky Weeks is going to be a stud very soon folks. This guy has Roberto Alomar written all over him. He has all 5 tools. Get him on your fantasy team now if its not too late.

He is not Alomar he doesn't have the glove never will. Great bat, amazing speed but few will ever be in Alamor's class playing 2B. Chris is right Weeks most likely will be put in CF like Sheffield who started off as a short stop from Milwaukke before being moved around abit

When I compared him to Alomar, I meant offensively only. I know He will never see a gold glove in his life.

I thought "5 tools" included defense?

Isn't fielding ability one of the tools? Maybe he's a 4.5 tool player?

Brewers have good young talent...SS Hardy is nice and slick..struggling with the bat in the majors this year but i believe he's only 20...hitting will come.

But the problem with baseball and no salary cap is that when these players finally get good enough to be contributors on the pro level, they will leave and go to a team with more money.
