The Sports Xchange notes that Craig Counsell started at second base Wednesday in place of Rickie Weeks. Manager Ned Yost said he wanted to give Counsell a start and the move had nothing to do with Weeks' .190 batting average and .311 on-base percentage as the leadoff hitter. (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Weeks might only be hitting in the .190's, but he is walking and scoring runs just fine. His bat will undoubtedly turn around at some point and Yost has faith in his young second baseman. He remains a No. 1 Fantasy 2B, so don't give up on him just yet. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Weeks' two-run single in the ninth inning gave Milwaukee a 4-3 home victory over St. Louis on Friday night and snapped the Brewers' six-game losing streak. (Updated 05/10/2008)
