Weekly Report 08.16 - 08.22

Offensive Player of the Week:
Chun-Hsiu Chen. Chen with .444 for the week with two doubles and a home run. One of the interesting things about Chen's offensive breakthrough this season is his continually improving plate discipline. In low-A he walked 17 times in 240 plate appearances while in high-A he's walked 29 times in 169 plate appearances. Recent scouting reports have also cited his average defense indicating that he will stay at catcher.

Pitcher of the Week:
Chen-Chang Lee. Lee yielded no runs, one hit, and struck out three this week. Lee has had an excellent season although one reason he may not have been promoted this year is because the Indians have several prospects at AA and AAA who have similar statistics as Lee. Nevertheless, given the Indian's poor pitching overall it's probably just a matter of time until Lee gets a major league callup.


Red Hot: (8)


Average: (8)


Not Hot: (5)
Hung-Wen Chen has struggled at AAA Iowa due to a doubling of his home run rate, 30% drop in ground balls, and doubling of line drives. Chen will most likely start next season at AAA and will need to work hard to keep the ball on the ground more if he's to have any success.


Did Not Play / Injured: (7)
