Week 18’s Hottest Hitters
Peter Schiller | Aug 04, 2008 | Comments 0
With double digit Runs (11) scored and RBIs (10), New York Yankees RF Bobby Abreu tops our weekly list while also hitting 4 HRs to go along with a .433 BA, a .514 OBP and a stolen base.
Cubs LF Alfonso Soriano has been hot since returning from the DL as he hit 4 HRs last week while scoring 10 runs and swiping 4 bases while hitting .441 with an OBP of .487 last week.
As the Phillies are phighting over first place in the NL East last week, CF Shane Victorino hit 3 HRs while knocking in 10 RBIs and stealing 2 bases while also maintaining a .357 BA and .400 OBP.
The Rockies LF Matt Halliday also hit 4 HRs while scoring 10 runs with a stolen base, hitting .375 with an OBP of .429, but only had 6 RBIs which means he hit mostly solo shots last week.
With splitting time in both Boston and LA, the newest member of the Dodgers, LF Manny Ramirez finds himself at the # 5 spot on our weekly top 10. He hit .448 with an OBP of .484 while hitting 3 HRs and driving in 10 RBIs.
Rounding out the bottom 5 of this list are newly acquired Yankee LF Xavier Nady thanks to a big game on Sunday (a HR and 6 RBIs), the Cardinals OF Ryan Ludwick (4 HRs), Twins 1B and 2008 Home Run Derby Official Champion, Justin Morneau (12 RBIs), Royals new SS Mike Aviles (3 HRs) and last but not least, Indians CF Grady Sizemore (3 SBs).
