We're loving it, bro. Let's hope that he can do these things consistently. It's turning out to be an exciting brand of baseball. Melvin isn't holding him back either. He turns him loose on every possible occassion.
Weeks is definitely steering through the natural nervousness of a rookie call-up, but I like the confidence that he's displayed out there so far. With he and Coco at the top of the lineup, we have as much speed as anyone. Just need a consistent bat in the 3-hole.
One thing that impresses me about Weeks is that even though he only has one walk so far, he's showing a really good approach at the plate, and you can tell he's going up there with the intention to
hit. He has a good eye and wont expand the zone too much, but if he sees a pitch that's in the zone that he can handle he's not afraid to swing the bat. Barton, for example, also has a really good eye, but it looks like he just goes up there looking to take a walk and wont swing unless the pitch is just perfect, kinda like Cust as well.
One thing he really needs to work on though is his base running. The guy has got to stop sliding head first everywhere and needs to play way more in control or else he's going to get himself hurt. Hopefully Ricky can help him with that because he definitely has the speed to be a terror on the basepaths for opposing teams.
