If Weeks is the building block you speak of, then he'll bring plenty in trade too right? I'll let you build around Gomez, I'll build around my 1st baseman, Ryan Braun. Clearly I was not suggesting the Brewers build around Gomez. I was highlighting your suggestion that the Brewers not extend anyone with poor defense. If they did that, nobody on the team would be kept outside of Gomez. Actually, Gomez has played poorly defensively too. Braun is alreay extended, so obviously he'll be here inspite of his defense. Hopefully he's moved to 1B, where he would fit better defensively.
