Enrique is coming around... .296 average, fifth home run... might be an option at third or second.

Except that we have this 23-year-old kid at AAA batting .307 with speed and power. Plus, unlike Enrique, he can field his position without an error every other game.

 

If Enrique makes it back to the show as a Brewer, it's as a 3B or as a utility guy. Rickie is entrenched at 2B, and Hardy and Hall have SS nailed down.

I know its not going to be a popular statement - but Enrique looks more comfortable at SS this year than Rickie did at 2B last year. Maybe Rickie has improved a lot

I was going to bring up the old errors don't tell the whole story arguement again. I put more stock in firsthand accounts like huntsvillefan, than in error totals. Enrique looked pretty good in the field in Milwaukee, he was just lost at the plate. I have a hard time believing that Weeks is a better defender than him, dispite the error totals.

 

Not that it really matters, because Weeks and Hardy pretty much have the middle infield spots nailed down.
