FOX Sports Wisconsins Andrew Grumans story: PHOENIX -- With Corey Hart departing this offseason, Rickie Weeks is all the Milwaukee Brewers have left from the group of top prospects that helped the franchise from the cellar to the postseason. Locked into a battle at second base with Scooter Gennett, the longest-tenured member of the Brewers isnt about to give up his job without a fight. Weeks has been locked in early in Cactus League play, starting 4-for-9 before going 0-for-2 Thursday to bring his average to .364 with a home run. The 31-year-old has walked five times and struck out just twice in 16 plate apperances. Hes killing the baseball, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. I hope he continues it. When hes swinging the bat like this he is really fun to watch. If you guys watch the balls come off the bat, its pretty scary. Hes one of those rare guys that has that kind of pop where it doesnt matter where he hits it.
