Glad to see he, Weeks, in the the bigs now. I dropped Mota for him, since I allready had a couple of closers in Turnbrow and Streets. At least both of them are closing!!
The team I got him in is a 12 team keeper league, and we keep 12 for the next season. Really looking forward in seeing Weeks play. Now just debating if I start him today or not. Iguchi is my second baseman right now.
Hope this all works out great and now I have my second baseman for a long time in many season to follow!!

Isn't it usually just the day games that get blacked out?
Yeah as long as you aren't in the normal blackout zone (me) you should be able to watch him
Not to steal the thread... but I'm blacked out to 6 teams on MLB.tv... and it just pisses me off.
I have nothing to add about Weeks... but I hope they hit him second. I hate watching good rookies hit low in the order with no protection. Confidence can be a big issue with young prospects. If they want him to produce, then they should put him in a spot where he'll see good pitches. Hitting between Clark and either Lee or Overbay he should get plenty of heaters to look at.

Wow, where do you live? I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh and oddly enough I'm blacked out from watching phillies games while there hasn't been a pirates game I havent been able to watch.
I also hope they bat weeks 2nd. His power speed combination would be ideal for the 2 spot and like you said having some protection should definetely help him develop.

I'm blacked out to 6 teams also. Living in Iowa you don't get the Cubs, White Sox, Twins, Royals, Cardinals or Brewers. I've sent complaints to MLB.com saying there is no way that I am in the local market of 6 teams but no success.
Also I have Weeks in a keeper and I'm loving it, picked him up a few weeks ago when the rumors of him coming up really heated up. Hopefully he can show us his potential this year

Cedar Falls, Iowa... blacked out to:
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
Kansas City Royals
Minnesota Twins
St. Louis Cardinals
Milwaukee Brewers
It's ridiculous... we're well over 300 miles from St. Louis. Yet I still buy this freaking service every year.
