Player of the Week (Su12): Week 7 Nominees
Three pitchers get nominated this week after three perfect games. In order to help one of them win we’ve nominated the two most unlikable guys in the league on the batting side.
Alex Filides you know and hate. Hated him when he was on Clubber Lang, hated him when he was on NWO, hate him now that he’s on Scared Hitless. This is his 14th nomination, he’s won one time. But, he basically hit the crap out of the ball this weekend against some pretty weak teams.
Andrew Martin hung up the cleats a few years ago to become head scorekeeper. He filled in as a guest player for Superman’s Wheelchair and ended up having quite a week. He’s officially nominated for becoming the second player this season, and 17th in history, to hit for the cycle, but even without the automatic he would have earned a batting nod. He has one previous nomination, no wins.
Adriano DeSorrento is one of the perfect game guys getting a pitching nod but his batting numbers were NOT to be ignored so we ended up listing him in both places. He earns a nomination both ways this week. DeSorrento has three nominations, including two others this Summer, but no wins.
Gagnon and Crawford are familiar faces here as well, third nomination for both of them. Gagnon snuck a win in last season before we got to know him.
