Studs

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Studs

Bobby Abreu: Abreu has been simply on fire this week.  With a
.444 average (12/27), 4 home runs, 9 RBI, 11 runs, and 1 stolen base,
Abreu has been surging and has helped the Yankees recover from their
recent struggles.

Ryan Ludwick: Ludwick is continuing to be one of the biggest
surprises this season.  This week he had 14 hits in 26 at bats including
4 homers, 8 RBI, and 7 runs scored

Zack Greinke: Greinke, who had lost his last 3
decisions, came back strong this week winning both his starts.  His
2 victories this week included 17 strike outs, a 2.63 ERA, and a 1.02
WHIP.

Jeremy Guthrie: Guthrie has been pitching very well lately.  This week, Guthrie went 2-0, including a complete game, a 1.17 ERA, and a very low 0.65 WHIP.

Duds

David Wright: Wright came off a very terrible week.  He only had 3 hits in 22 at bats with no home runs, only 2 runs scored, and only 2 RBI and was a big reason as to why the Mets have dropped to third place in the NL East.

Lance Berkman: Berkman, who has been a top contender for the NL MVP award this season, had essentially no offensive production this week.  He went 4 for 20 this week with 5 runs scored and no homers and 0 RBI.

Ben Sheets: Sheets lost both of his starts this past week and pitched only 11.1 innings.  The man who has been a strike out machine the last few years only had 8 ks in his two starts while posting a 6.35 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP.

Andy Pettitte: Pettitte has been real solid for the Yankees this season. Unfortunately, his stats didn’t carry over into this week as he got shelled by the Angels.  Pitching 5.1 innings, he surrendered 9 earned runs, 11 hits, and 2 home runs.
