I feel it's because of his past wrist/thumb injuries, although I don't have any real answer to this and doubt anyone else does. I tried to ask Weeks how his wrist felt in his online chat, but my question wasn't chosen of course. Hart also didn't have an injury that required surgery. It was only a sprained wrist... now sprained wrists can be bothersome for quite some time, but it was an example. I'll add Hardy to this list, which might fit better. Hardy put up below expectations numbers through 159 games. People wanted Hall to take his place at SS, but now look at Hardy 3 years later, granted he didn't play a complete season last year. I'm just saying, Weeks had a significant wrist injury and as doctors have been saying, it could take a year to where it starts to feel good. There's a chance he could snap out of his slump and start putting up good numbers. I'm not worried by his production yet. He also had a thumb injury the year before, so it's not like he's been 100% healthy while we've seen him. On the other end, he could also fail miserably like we've seen with many other players. I do find it ironic though that there is usually a thread created when a player isn't performing or over-achieving, and then it goes quiet immediately when he does well. Ex: 1. Hart never going to be above average 2. Can Hall pitch? 3. Hall stinks in the outfield and has poor offense this year 4. Hardy is too weak offensively 5. Hardy not very good this year defensively? 6. Turnbow of 2006 has showed up in 2007... even though he's really done a pretty good job outside of a few blowups 7. Gwynn being the savior and should replace Hall or Hart 8. Give Cordero a huge contract immediately while he's performing like a machine 9. Bring up Capellan because our bullpen is a let down-even with his mediocre minor league stats, etc.. That's what makes a message board so great. So many ideas, so many agreements, so many disagreements. Now that I've gone way off topic and added many ideas for people to disagree on, I feel that my post is complete.
