Weekly Report 07.26 - 08.01

Offensive Player of the Week:

Chun-Hsiu Chen hit for .444 for the week. After a hot start to the season he's cooled off a bit, but he earned a promotion to high-A a couple weeks ago and has high average and decent power throughout the season. It should be noted his path to the majors might be blocked by Carlos Santana. If Chen is forced to move to 1B or 3B, his bat may not be enough to allow him to make the majors.

Pitcher of the Week:

It was a poor week for pitchers overall. Chen-Chang Lee gave up no earned runs, but he walked 2 in 3 innings of work. Week to week evaluations of pitchers are often tough since they make very few appearances. One bad outing can make a whole week seem terrible while one good start can mask deficiencies from previous weeks. It's a matter of sample size and this week pitchers had a dose of bad luck.


Red Hot: (4)


Average: (10)


Not So Hot: (7)


Did Not Play / Injured: (8)

Chia-Jen Lo has lost most of the season to injuries. Injury-free, Lo probably would have already been called up to a Houston club that has finally raised the white flag and committed to rebuilding with young players. Expect Lo to start next year in AAA, but he will probably be called up to Houston quickly.
