Fantasy Players of the Week

Sorry to all of you who have been eagerly anticipating some new posts from me these past few weeks. The past two weeks have been very busy with celebrating senior week, walking at graduation, saying goodbye to friends and attending the most kick-ass graduation party (think My Super Sweet 16 but for a graduation party). However, I am now back and ready to role again with this thing and what better way to start than with the fantasy players of the week.

Position Player of the Week -- Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins
The reigning AL MVP had one of those weeks that fantasy owners drool over. Morneau hit .400 this past week while belting four homers and driving in 13 runs. All four of his home runs came in victories for the Minnesota Twins and Morneau extended his hit streak to 10 games.

Pitcher of the Week -- Jake Peavy, San Diego Padres
Peavy, having two starts in one week, took full advantage of it. In his first start, Peavy shut down the Cubs, (which these days really isn't that hard) going six innings, striking out six and only allowing one run. For his second start, he went seven innings against the slumping Brewers while giving up only two hits and surrendering no runs. Peavy ended the week with two wins, 14 strikeouts and a razor-thin ERA of 0.69. If you have a pitcher with two starts against two teams from the "Comedy Central," then I would suggest urge you to start that pitcher (unless, of course, he plays for one of those joke teams).
