At one point, he had hit eight homers in eight games, with back-to-back two-homer games on May 11 and 12 and another two-homer game May 18 in that stretch. It was, at the time, the largest contract in term and money in club history and marked an industry record for the longest for a player without a full year of Major League service time. The contract may have emboldened Braun to make some memorable comments after Milwaukee was swept at Fenway Park in Boston in May.
I almost feel like we never really expected to win any of these games. I just kind of had that feeling. May 9 vs.

But J. Milwaukee went against St. Louis, which finished and four games behind the Brewers in the final standings. Gallardo goes down: The May 1 battle in Chicago was a win on paper but also a terrible loss for the Brewers. Yovani Gallardo, the second-year pitcher who had worked back from an injury to start the season and turned in two excellent outings one earned run, 14 innings was injured covering first base when he landed awkwardly trying to hurdle and avoid a collision with Reed Johnson.
He walked it off and kept pitching, even completing the inning making it five scoreless in his outing.
But his return the next inning was shaky, when he allowed two runs and a third runner was thrown out at the plate. Here are the similar statistics from each player: Morrison PA,. A slim Wilson Ramos Ramos showed flashes of greatness in his season with the Nationals before getting injured.

Given Weeks's refusal to learn new positions as recently as this past season, he also provides significantly less versatility than Murphy, who can play at first, second, and third base. Overall the defensively challenged Weeks probably isn't the best fit for a Mets team that is trying to build a contender on the backs of a young pitching staff.
In the absence of Murphy, Weeks's offensive output would be ideal for a Mets team in search of more runs, but his defensive shortcomings would likely far outweigh the benefits of his bat since occasionally hiding him at another position is not an option. Given the dearth of second base options currently available via free agency, Weeks is likely to receive offers from a number of teams even with his reputation as a poor fielder; the Mets should not be one of those teams.

The hits kept coming, and Weeks closed out his junior year with another batting title and NCAA career records in batting average and slugging percentage. Weeks had a. His top seasons were in , when he hit. In , he hit.
