27-year old righty swinging Rickie Weeks was finally starting to live up to his potential last season before a injury cut it short. The Brewers hope that last season was a glimpse of what Weeks is going to do for them in 2010. Weeks played in 37 games for the Brewers last season and he was 40 for 147 (.272 avg, .857 OPS) with 28 runs scored, 9 homers, 24 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. Weeks made 6 errors in 27 games at 2B last season and that is way too many while showing average range. The Brewers have been waiting for Weeks for a long time so they need him to pay them back for the patience they have showed in him in 2010.

39-year old lefty swinging Craig Counsell had one of his best seasons of his career in 2009 and that is why the Brewers decided to bring him back for 2010. Counsell played in 130 games for the Brewers last season and he was 115 for 404 (.285 avg, .765 OPS) with 61 runs scored, 4 homers, 39 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Counsell played in 50 games without making an error at 2B last season while showing outstanding range. He is also more than capable at either SS or 3B.

31-year old lefty swinging Joe Inglett was a late addition to the Brewers this winter. He played in 36 games for the Blue Jays last season and he was 25 for 89 (.281 avg, .695 OPS) with 11 runs scored, 6 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Inglett played in 3 error-free games at 2B last season while showing above average range. Inglett can play all over the field and he is a pesky hitter so he will have a good chance of making the Brewers this spring as a bench player.
