Brewers | 2B Rickie Weeks wants to play more than a few weeks

Adam McCalvy, of MLB.com, reports Milwaukee Brewers 2B Rickie Weeks (wrist) has been hitting since November, and worked out in the offseason with 1B Prince Fielder and free-agent 2B Felipe Lopez (Brewers). “Last time I was still rehabbing in Spring Training,” Weeks said. “This time, I’ve had three months of hitting to get ready. I’ve been telling everybody that it doesn’t even feel like I had surgery.”

Our Instinct:  The 27 year old Weeks has all the potential in the world to be one of the best 2B in the game, however he’s building a J.D. Drew type reputation as being someone who can’t play a full season.  Weeks has missed 335 games over the past 5 seasons, so why we love the optimism that he has – we can’t help but be a little skeptical.
