A lot of people would be a lot less worried about Rickie is he weren't stuck with a batting average in the .250-.260 range |

For the past month, Jeff has been trying to beat out ML hitters by throwing everything hard right through the zone, and it hasn't been working; good luck to Jeff, as this will be his last Power 50 week, barring injury or lack of work |

It's interesting that the Brewers haven't played Callix anywhere besides second base this season, because Callix isn't going to make it to bigs as a second baseman as long as Weeks is still playing there |
