Post-Show Blog for 9/16/08 (2B Rankings)

With all due respect to our outstanding trio of S’s, I don’t really understand why Rickie Weeks is so high on this year’s list.  The guy’s having a worse season than last year and wasn’t even among the 2008 top 10.  I guess it’s based on potential more than anything else, along with Upton’s loss of second base eligibility and Kent’s pedestrian year.  I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that no Weeks owner is leading their league in average.  I’m one of them, and sit dead last in that category.
