Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that if Prince Fielder leaves via free agency and the team doesn't bring another big hitter in, Rickie Weeks is the most likely candidate to bat cleanup. Weeks batted .269/.350/.468 with 20 homers in 2011 despite being hobble by an ankle injury for most of the second half. He slugged .464 with 29 homers in 2010. Ideally, the Brewers would probably prefer to bat him second or fifth, but they could get by with Weeks as a No. 4 hitter.
