Question

So the Brewers guy at the local daily proposed a question. The nice people at the JS allow comments to their blog which is nice. I do not comment on these blogs, as I do not like giving the old email to just anybody, and I do not like to be confused with the intellectual elite. Lets look at what we have.

Rickie Weeks was a boon of potential talent when drafted. Though his career has been marred by injury...yet another glass bodied Brewer...his numbers are kind of odd in a good way. Like taking your sisters best friend to the prom. He tends to get on base, and he tends to score lots of runs. I think that this is because he hits for power and is fast. IE, he gets hit by pitches, steals a base, and the scores on a sacrifice. Or he hits a home run. But he does not have a lot of those. So that means that he strikes out a lot. A lot. Is that how you want your lead off hitter to play?

Pitching wins championships. And right now, the pen looks like a sighning table at a card convention, which I have been to a couple of times. Obviously the hitting is there. They can score runs. At least against good pitching that is. Get me a reliever who is better than these guys, and you may, repeat may, just get me a W in the next three years. Note I did not say closer. Saves are over rated and expensive. Or just get me a real lead off hitter. Get on, move over, score..Every time, or at least most of the time.
