MIL Journal-Sentinel blog: Yost: Weeks will stay in leadoff spot

The Brewers’ game against Boston tonight was rained out but when the teams gather tomorrow for a make-up doubleheader, you can bet that Rickie Weeks will continue to bat leadoff.

Weeks is batting .187 with a .315 on-base percentage yet somehow has managed to score 31 runs. Yost continues to insist that Weeks has hit into so many hard outs that his numbers are deceiving.

“He’s OK with me,” Yost said before the Brewers’ interleague game with Boston was postponed by rain. “I’m happy with it. He’s hitting the ball hard; he’s walking.

“His walk-to-strikeout ratio (23 to 30) is so much better than it’s ever been. He’s hitting in very bad luck. The low percentage of balls put in play being hits says that he’s hitting in bad luck.”
