Weeks on the DL

Now that Rickie Weeks has been placed on the DL with a sprained knee Hernan Iribarren has been recalled from Triple-A to take his roster spot.

This is bad news for the Brewers. Ned Yost, please don't start Craig Counsell. Yes, Counsell is good defensively but his bat is horrible. He has zero power, and hits for a terrible average and has been this way since his first stint with the Brewers.

Why don't the Brewers start Hall at second base? If Hall wants to play he'd take the spot. Yes, he hasn't been hitting righties well this season, but it's a small sample size. Last season Hall hit .247 against righties, .261 in 2006, and .277 in 2005. At least have him split playing time with Joe Dillon. If Hall wants to be traded it doesn't help his stock by keeping him on the bench. At least he brings some power to the plate.
