"Glass" Weeks

Those of you know know we well know I'm just a little bit enthralled with Fantasy Baseball--no heart of glass when it comes to that. Well, Brewers 2nd-baseman doesn't have a heart of glass either--but his wrists sure seem to qualify. Once again, Weeks will miss significant time because of a wrist injury--this time, he'll miss the rest of the season. Talk about chronic. "Glass wrists", you might way. I've had him on two previous fantasy teams, and both times he helped me only in spurts, and one of those times it was at the end of the season when he really hit a hot streak. The rest of the time his stats infuriated me. Low BA, high strikeouts, wasted spot in the line-up. I didn't go near him this year--I already had the Rangers' Ian Kinsler as a keeper. But guys like that aren't worth it as a back-up either, because you want your back-up to be sturdy--remember, Kinsler missed the last month-and-a-half of the season with a sports hernia, so he's not exactly Cal Ripken-like, either.
So, raise your "glass", baseball fans.
