Here is the weekly look at who's been hot and who's been cold very the last two weeks, or 14 days (through Monday's games), according to Fangraphs:
Who's Hot:
Jay Bruce, CIN: we have written about Bruce a few times in the Roto Roundups this week, and he has been on fire over the past two weeks, hitting .411-.459-.911 with 8 HRs, 19 RBIs and 12 runs scored. He has been hitting 5th or 6th in the Reds lineup for most of the season, but manager Dusty Baker just figured out how hot he is and moved him into the cleanup spot.
Jose Reyes, NYM-Reyes is leading the majors in multi-hit games, and is improving his market value in a trade deadline deal, as well as his value in the free agent market by the day. He is hitting .417-.451-.583 with no homers, 2 RBIs, 12 runs and 3 SBs over the last two weeks.
More Who's Hot and Who's Not after the jump:
Corey Patterson, TOR-Patterson would have been Fake Teams Fantasy Player of the Day on Sunday had I written one, as he went 4-5 with a HR, 3 RBI and 2 runs scored. He is hitting .333-.350-.544 with 2 HRs, 7 RBIs, 11 runs scored, and 2 SBs in the last two weeks. For the season, he is hitting .294-.325-.467 with 4 HRs, 26 RBIs, 28 runs and 7 SBs.
Carl Crawford, BOS-After a very slow, and unexpected, start to the 2011 season, Crawford is starting to hit, FINALLY. Over the last two weeks he is hitting .313-.353-.625 with 3 HRs, 11 RBIs, 12 runs and 1 SB. A productive Crawford means bad things to AL pitchers and good things for an already potent Red Sox lineup.
Allen Craig, STL-Craig has played all over the field this year and could be one of the more sought after hitters next should he stay healthy and gain eligibility in more than one position. He has played 1B, 3B, 2B, LF, and RF this year. In the last two weeks he is hitting .410-.452-.641 with 2 HRs, 8 RBIs, 5 runs and a SB. For the season, he is hitting .330-.400-.500 with 3 HRs, 18 RBIs, 12 runs and 4 SBs.
Who's Not
Dan Uggla, ATL-Uggla has been one of the more disappointing hitters in baseball this year, and he continued to disappoint the last two weeks, where he has hit .089-.125-.089 with a run scored and an RBI in 48 plate appearances. For the season, Uggla is hitting a paltry .178-.246-.322 with 7 HRs, 16 RBIs and 20 runs scored. But one good sign is that is striking out only 22% of his at bats vs a career K rate of 26%, and his BABIP is just .191, so his luck should turn around soon.
Ben Zobrist, TB-back in April Zobrist has a double header to remember. I think he drove in 8 runs in one of the games, and finished with like 10 or 11 RBIs in the DH. But, in the past two weeks, Zobrist is hitting .130-.184-.239 with a HR, 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
Adam Dunn, CHW-if anyone knows what is wrong with Adam Dunn, please call, or text, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. In the last two weeks, Dunn is hitting just .116-.291-.209 with a HR, 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored. What is astonishing is that he has struck out in 51% of his plate appearances in the last two weeks.
Carlos Santana, CLE-I keep waiting for Santana to break out of his season long slump, but that hasn't happened yet, and in the last two weeks, he is hitting just .182-.326-.303 with a HR, 4 RBIs and 2 runs scored. He still owns an excellent K/BB rate, but the hits just aren't falling for him thus far.
Jack Hannahan, CLE-yeah, two Indians on this list, but Santana is in no danger of losing his job, while Hannahan is in serious jeopardy of losing his. Hannahan hit just ,175-,233-.225 with an RBI and 3 runs scored. Meanwhile, Lonnie Chisenhall is hitting .275-.370-.440 with 5 HRs, 26 RBIs, 36 runs scored, an 18.7% K rate and 10.0% BB rate.
