Rickie Weeks is one of the hottest players in baseball right now after an abysmal first few months.
Analysis: Rickie Weeks is hitting .429 with 5 home runs, 9 RBI and 10 runs in the month of June. He has hit safely in ten of his last eleven games… he is simply on fire right now. He’s the 9th rated roto second baseman over the last month and in that span he has raised his batting average .056 points. We all know how inconsistent he can be but the man has averaged 23 home runs, 12 stolen bases and 91 runs over the last three years… so give Rickie some credit. His batting average has always been suspect but he is hitting .256 over the last three years which is a great improvement over his first few years in the bigs.
The thirty year old is currently available in 30-60% of fantasy leagues nationwide despite a lengthy hot streak. We have to remember that Weeks was hitting just .183 at the end of May with 3 home runs, now he’s hitting .235 with 8 bombs and we aren’t even out of June yet. He’s already back into the top twenty among fantasy second baseman and like always the numbers will be there for you by the end of the year.
