Weekly Report 07.19 - 07.25

Pitcher of the Week:

Chen-Chang Lee had another good week with 3 SO in 3 IP of work. That this was actually below his average strikeout rate shows the kind of dominating season he's having so far.

Offensive Player of the Week:

Chih-Hsien Chiang hit .391 this week to boost his season average up to .244. However, .244 is still pretty dismal combined his below average plate discipline and power. He'll need to keep up the high batting average in order to earn a promotion next year.


Red Hot: (7)


Average: (7)


Not So Hot: (9)

Fu-Te Ni is exhibiting the same kind of control problems he had with the Tigers. He's been able to strikeout hitters at a terrific rate but he's walking almost a batter an inning. Without watching his performances I can only guess that he's nibbling the corners and trying to induce lots of swinging strikes instead of attacking hitters directly. For someone without dominating stuff it's probably a good strategy, but he needs to sharpen up his control to ensure a return trip to the majors.

Yung-Chi Chen seems to be rapidly playing himself out of a job. It's rare to see a player decline so rapidly and it's possible that he's been hurt for well over a year and has never healed up properly, which might explain his extremely poor performances.


Did Not Play / Injured: (6)
