Edwin Named NL Player of the Week
Quote:
And, some good news...

Edwin Encarnacion has been named National League player of the week for Aug. 7-13.

Encarnacion hit .440 (11-25) with a double, four home runs and eight RBIs last week. His 24 total bases and .960 slugging percentage last week led the NL. He currently has a career-high 10-game hitting streak.

Encarnacion is the second Reds player to take P.O.W. honors this year. Brandon Phillips did it April 17-23.

Re: Edwin Named NL POY
POY?

POW?

I think Jerry had him as a POW earlier in the season, but he's escaped the gulag since then.

Re: Edwin Named NL POY
I think you need to rename the thread title. With apologies to John McCain, I think Edwin is now a P.O.W. instead of a P.O.Y.

Re: Edwin Named NL Player of the Week
What a week for EdE. Even his outs were excellent at bats.
Not to mention 3 or 4 incredible plays on the field - balls that only a few other guys in the league get to.
Great job Edwin.

Re: Edwin Named NL Player of the Week
This is Edwin's way of daring Jerry Narron not to play him.

Re: Edwin Named NL Player of the Week
The kid needed to "take" the job. Looks to me like he has done that. Good for Eddie. Nice honor to boot.

I'd say he took the job when he OPS'd over 1.000 in spring training and hit .288/.387/.550 in April, and in the meantime displayed incredible range at third base.
