Well...we don't usually do this, but... Most of the time we don't give the top player honors to part-timers, but Marietta's Taylor Teagarden had an excellent week (and a half). In only 18 at bats, Teagarden hit .500 with a .526 OBP, 1.444 slugging, 5 homers, 7 RBIs, and 7 runs. But since he's a part-timer, we're only awarding him a 5-pack as this week's JR Cigars Smokin' Batter of the Week.
Other top batters: Philadelphia's Matt Holliday (.444/.512/.861, 5 HR, 10 R, 8 RBI), and Adam Lind (.400/.438/.867, 4 HR, 16 RBI), Las Vegas' Joe Mauer (.404/.473/.787, 4 HR, 10 R, 10 RBI), Carolina's Troy Tulowitzki (.370/.420/.652, 4 HR, 9 R, 16 RBI), Newark's Will Venable (.361/.368/.778, 4 HR, 12 RBI), and Bridgewater's Ryan Zimmerman (.372/.383/.698, 4 HR, 11 RBI).
Meanwhile, selecting the Worst Video Games of All Time Pitcher of the Week was a bit tougher. But we decided to go with Jake Peavy, who was 1-1 with a 1.08 ERA and 0.60 WHIP. Peavy struck out 21 in 16.2 innings and pitched a complete game, 1-hit shutout against Amityville. In his second start, he lost despite giving up only 3 hits and striking out 11.
Other top starters: Blue Ridge's Gavin Floyd (2-0, 1.17, 0.91, 16 K), Sardine City's Josh Johnson (2-0, 1.10, 0.80), Carolina's Yovani Gallardo (2-0, 1.20, 0.87, 15 K), and Newark's Koji Uehara (1-1, 2.45, 0.55) and Brad Bergesen (2-0, 1.69, 1.00).

Hitmen take control of Morris
Hillsborough took over sole possession of first place in the Morris Division with a 6-0 blanking of Philadelphia. Felix Hernandez held the Animals to 3 hits and 1 walk and struck out 10 to improve to 5-1 on the season. The Hitmen have now one 3 straight and have a 1/2 game lead on idle Vancouver.
Michael Young was 4-4 with 3 RBIs and 2 homers to lead the Cutters to a 6-4 victory over Amityville. The Cutters are trying to work their way back into the race and have now won 7 of their last 10 and are only 5 games under the .500 mark.
Marietta and New Jersey slugged it out as the Mighty Men edged Team Buddah 12-11. The Mighty Men took an early 5-0 lead, but the Buddahs scored 6 runs in the 3rd to take the lead. The Buddahs extended the lead to 8-5, but Marietta inched back and tied it back up at 9-9 in the 6th. In the 7th, Seth Smith hit a two-run homer to give Jersey the lead back, but Taylor Teagarden and Derek Jeter hit homers in the bottom half to give Marietta the 12-11 lead that would serve as the final. Teagarden (2 homers) and Adrian Gonzalez (1 homer) both finished with 3 RBIs and 3 hits each and Alberto Callaspo also had 3 hits for the Mighty Men. Smith had 4 RBIs and 3 hits for the Buddahs
