What has happened to Rickie Weeks?
Rest assured there are many officials in the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization asking the same question.
After all, three years ago, it looked like Weeks was going to be a star, a major star. He seemingly had the whole package, especially from an offensive standout.
But that was three years ago. Today, the future of the 25-year-old Weeks looks anything but bright.
After batting a feeble .235 last season, Weeks is batting a pathetic .193 this season.
And he isn’t shown any concrete signs of turning it around, either.
In his last 28 at-bats, Weeks has only five hits – a .178 average. He hasn’t gotten an extra-base hit in the last eight games. He hasn’t hit a home run since May 7.
Even more disturbing, Weeks has struck out five times in the last five games.
Removing Weeks from the starting lineup would probably be too drastic of a measure.
But removing Weeks from the top of the batting order and dropping him to the bottom of it isn’t.
