Jemile Weeks

I didn't follow after the draft, but did he sign? Where is he now?

I'd say you haven't been paying attention after the draft, as Jemile Weeks was drafted last year. He has a year at Miami already under his belt, and he played for Team USA this past summer with incredible results so far. He looks as though he will be more of a true/traditional leadoff hitting second baseman than his big brother. Of all of the players the Brewers have lost to college in recent years, Jemile right now appears to be the toughest one to swallow:

 

Miami 2006 stats

 

Team USA 2006 stats

 

Remember that rumor that he signed at one point in time last summer? Ouch, that hurt http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .

Oh no, I did know that.

 

I just didn't remember after the draft what happened to him.

 

Thanks.
