Rickie Weeks said he's still not 100 percent recovered from his ankle injury but is "very close."
"I wouldn't say its 100% but it's very close," Weeks said. "I'm still doing rehab back home." The second baseman suffered a severe ankle sprain in late July, and although he returned late in the year, it was clear he wasn't healthy. It's a tad concerning that he's still not 100 percent, but it sounds like he's almost there. The Brewers will need his production this year without Prince Fielder and the likely absence of Ryan Braun for 50 games.
