Players of the Week: Week 2

This week was a strange week, there were a total of 9 games suspended because of rain, another game was suspended because of rain and darkness. So there were a lot of players that didn't see much action because of this, I have tried to look past those missed days in figuring out the Players of the Week for Week 2. Here they go.

Hitters:
HOW (Hitters of the Week): Week 2
Rickie Weeks - FKAky
3 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 9 R's, 1 SB, .333 Avg, and 1.455 OPS.

Rickie had the advantage of playing a five games this week and he took advantage of those extra at bats in winning the POW for week 2. His 3 homeruns and 9 run scored separated him from the pack this week. Congratulations!

noteworthy:
Carlos Lee - Box Chowers
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 4 R's, .389 Avg, and 1.310 OPS.

Chipper Jones - Poppers
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 6 R's, .364 Avg, and 1.254 OPS.

Jimmy Rollins - FKAky
3 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 5 R's, .333 Avg, and 1.190 OPS.

Barry Bonds - FKAky
2 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 4 R's, .417 Avg, and 1.450 OPS. (4 games played)

Previous Winners:
Miguel Cabrera - Poppers (Week 1)


POW (Pitcher of the Week): Week 2
Brad Penny - Full Flannel
2 W's, 13.1 IP, 0.68 ERA, 1.05 Whip, -2 K-BB.

Pitching this week was horrendous and it made choosing a POW very easy. Brad Penny benefited from pitching two games and won both games in earning this weeks POW for Week 2. I almost gave it to Peavy though, it was a tough call but Penny's Era made up for the negative K-BB ratio.

Noteworthy:
Tim Hudson :
2 W's, 14 IP, 0.64 ERA, 1.00 Whip, 6 K-BB.

Jake Peavy - FKAky
1 W, 7 IP, 1.29 ERA, 0.71 Whip, 1 K-BB.

Rich Hill - Diggleturds
1 W, 7 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1.00 Whip, 1 K-BB

Derek Lowe - Full Flannel
1 W, 8 IP, 1.13 ERA, 1.13 Whip, 4 K-BB.

Ian Snell - Heaters
1 W, 7 IP, 1.29 ERA, 1.00 Whip, 2 K-BB.

Previous Winners:
Ted Lilly - Diggleturds - Week 1
