Is Weeks Jinxed?

If you have listened to my show at all over the last 4 years or so you know that Rickie Weeks and the promotion of Rickie Weeks is one of my main causes. I was pretty much alone on the bandwagon for most of the last couple years but I was still hanging on with all my might. 2009 looked to be the year that Rickie finally lived up to the hype(I remember one sports talk host predicted a Hall of Fame career for Weeks...I can't remember the guys name...good looking fellow, went by the name Hoofy or Goofy or something)but now comes word that he injured his left wrist in Sunday's game. If this turns out to be a serious injury, and a bad wrist can be devastating to a hitter, it may not be a critical blow to the team's playoff hopes. Craig Counsell has been hitting extremely well and should do fine defensively at 2nd base. Mat Gamel may now get a better chance at playing the left hand role in a soft platoon at 3rd. This does not even take into account the inevitable calls for Alcides Escobar to make his everyday debut. This team has many weapons and should be able to weather the storm reasonably well but if/when Rickie comes back one must wonder how he will be affected. The kid has all the talent in the world and by all accounts is one of the most dedicated players on the team. He deserves some good news and a few good breaks. Lets hope for the best and that Rickie is back in the lineup soon.
