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.
