Focus Area Comments
Hitting Ability: Weeks is a line-drive, slashing type of hitter who squares the
ball up well and can really get things going with leadoff-type
skills.
Power: He's got a little pop, but it's not likely to be a big part of his game
as a pro.
Running Speed: He's got above-average speed, though a groin problem has
hampered him some in the past.
Base running: He's a very aggressive runner and should be an above-average base
stealer as a result.
Arm Strength: He's got a below-average arm and kind of flips the ball when he
throws.
Fielding: His hands are a bit stiff, with some feeling a move to center field
will be in order.
Range: His best defensive tool, Weeks has above-average range thanks to his
foot speed.
Physical Description: Weeks has a lean, small frame; a live, athletic body.
Medical Update: A groin injury plagued him last year, but he's 100 percent now.
Strengths: Above-average speed; good line-drive approach at plate; excellent
bloodlines.
Weaknesses: His defense at second and his physical strength (or lack thereof).
Summary: Even though he plays the same position as his older brother, Rickie,
Jemile is not the same kind of player. He doesn't have, and likely
will never have, the kind of power Rickie does. He runs extremely well
and with a line-drive approach, could be a good table setter. His
defense is somewhat in question, but a move to center would fix that.
The Brewers drafted Weeks in the eighth round in 2005 and it's clear
that it was more than just a favor to his brother.

SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Weeks gave every indication of following in his brother
Rickie’s footsteps and becoming a future first-rounder after a strong freshman
season at Miami. He hit .352-6-40, scored 69 runs and led the Atlantic Coast
Conference with nine triples. He also excelled for Team USA that summer,
hitting .343-4-21 with a team-high 14 stolen bases. But 2007 was somewhat of a
lost year for Weeks, who was bothered all season by a groin injury, which
caused him to miss a number of games and impaired his ability to run. He
slumped to .298-5-27 with just seven stolen bases and was forced to cancel a
return engagement with Team USA in order to get healthy. Jemile has solid tools
across the board but he is a different player than his brother, the second
overall pick in 2003 and now the second baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Whereas Rickie was stronger, faster and more compact at the same stage of
development, Jemile is leaner and a more skilled defender. He more similarly
resembles a younger version of Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Weeks lacks the arm strength for shortstop, but his hands, range, instincts,
positioning and ability to turn the double play make him a polished defender
at second. He also has upside at the plate. He has a short, quick swing and
his bat speed is the equal of any player on Miami’s power-laden roster, but
he’s not viewed as a power-type hitter. If anything, his swing is a little
long and not conducive to wood, meaning he’ll need to become a more all-around
,contact-oriented offensive player to make things happen.—ALLAN SIMPSON
UPDATE: Weeks has been healthy alls spring and at the top of his game. He
actually out-hit his teammate Yonder Alonso most of the spring, before being
passed in May, and has more extra-base hits (29, while batting .375-10-48
overall with 16 SB through mid-May), although pitchers clearly don’t fear him
nearly as much. Because Weeks is so much like his brother Rickie, it might
ironically work against Jemile that his brother has struggled to hit in the
major leagues.—DAVID RAWNSLEY
BA:
Scouting Report
The brother of Brewers second baseman Rickie, Weeks is an accomplished middle
infielder with above-average athleticism. Drafted out of high school by the
Brewers in the eighth round in 2005, Weeks elected to attend Miami instead.
He competed on the U.S. college national team following his freshman and
sophomore seasons and was named as a preseason All-American by BA coming into
the year. A switch-hitter and plus runner, Weeks has the unique ability to put
pressure on the defense with his speed on the basepaths. Although he is just
5-feet-9, 180 pounds, he is not limited to small ball as he has quick wrists
and plus bat speed, allowing him to hit for power as well. Defensively, Weeks
has shown flashes of making the spectacular play but needs to become more
consistent with the routine play. Also, his ability to turn the double play
needs improvement. In the pros, Weeks profiles as an offensive second baseman
with less power than his brother but a better chance to stay in the middle of
the diamond. He and Gordon Beckham are the most athletic college position
players expected to be drafted in the first 50 picks.
