Studs and Duds of the Week: 8/4-8/10

Studs
byrd.jpg Marlon Byrd: Byrd was the hottest hitter in baseball this week.  He had 16 hits in 28 at bats for a .571 average.  2 of those hits were home runs and also had 8 RBI and 2 stolen bases.



carlee.jpg Carlos Lee: Lee improved his already impressive season by getting 11 hits in 30 at bats with 3 long balls and 11 RBI.  Unfortunately, Lee was recently placed on the DL with a fractured finger and will miss the next 6-8 weeks.



webb.jpg Brandon Webb: Webb continued his dominance by going 2-0; one of the wins was a complete game.  He had 9 strike outs with a 1.20 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP.




brianmo.jpg Brian Moehler: Moehler came out of nowhere this week and really turned some heads.  He went 2-0 with 7 k's and a ridiculous 0.75 ERA and .a 0.75 WHIP.  Moehler has now won his last 3 starts and his last 4 decisions.



Duds

guillen.jpg Jose Guillen: Guillen, who had previously been playing well, has really cooled off this week.  He had a low .208 (5/24) batting average with only 1 run scored and only 1 run batted in.



utley.jpg Chase Utley: Utley has been scorching hot all season.  However, his numbers did sink a bit this week as he batted .182, with 1 run, 1 homer, and 3 RBI.  His home run didn't come until Sunday.



clay.jpgClay Buchholz: Buchholz has really struggled in the past week.  He lost both of his starts, had a miserable 9.00 ERA and gave up, on average, 2.11 walks and hits per inning.



cook.jpg Aaron Cook: Cook has also struggled very badly this week.  He went 0-2 in both games he pitched, had an 8.74 ERA and a 1.94 WHIP.
