Welcome to the June 19th-July3rd Edition of the IBC HOT SHEET. Both Pitchers and Hitters are mixed into this one.

Hot Sheet
1. Mark Teixeira - 1B - DBacks
.474/.523/.877 57 AB, 27 H, 6 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR, 13 R, 20 RBI
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Teixeira, though, is that for a power hitter, he seldom strikes out, as evidenced by his 5 whiffs and 7 walks in 57 June at-bats.


2. Miguel Cabrera - 3B - Tigers
.426/.466/.778 54 AB, 23 H, 4 2B, 5 HR, 9 R, 18 RBI
Tigers fans have been more then pleased with Cabrera's performance this year after the tough transition to Detroit. He has 21 Dingers and 80 RBIs still a week away from the All-Star Break.

3. Joba Chamberlain - MR - Yankees
3-0 2.05 ERA, 22 IP, 34 K, 3 BB
Joba has been nothing but stellar this season with a 175\33 K-BB ratio, and continued this week to prove why the move to the rotation was no fluke.

4. Rick Ankiel - RF - Mariners
.436/.448/.818 55 AB, 24 H, 6 2B, 5 HR, 15 R, 10 RBI
Ankiel who was off to a slow start in Seattle, has shown some life in the past 2 weeks raising his BA to .277 and hopes to continue the hot hitting into the 2nd half of the season.

5. Hong-Chih Kuo - SP - Reds
2-0, 1.42 ERA, 19 IP, 32 K, 2 BB
Not known as a strikeout pitcher, Kuo brought his K total to 102 this year by fanning 32 over the past two weeks and only walking an astonishing 2 batters.

6. Scott Kazmir - SP - Yankees
3-0, 1.29 ERA, 21 IP, 15 K, 8 BB
Complimented nicely by Joba Chamberlain, Scott Kazmir has helped the injury stricken Yankees to within 3 of the tough AL East.

7. Erik Bedard - SP - phillies
2-0, 1.02 ERA, 17.2 IP, 17 K, 3 BB
Could make a case for 1st half NL Cy Young, after posting a 2.92 era in the hitter friendly Citizens Bank Ballpark.

8. Nick Swisher - CF - Reds
.391/.472/.826 46 AB, 18 H, 8 2B, 4 HR, 9 R, 9 RBI
The switch hitting Swisher raised his avg. to a nice .300 after swinging the hot stick in the hitter friendly GAP

9. Adrian Beltre - 3B - Nationals
.365/.441/.865 52 AB, 19 H, 8 2B, 6 HR, 9 R, 15 RBI
Hit almost half his season total of Home Runs this past two weeks and hopes to prove he deserved that huge contract.

10. Matt Cain - SP - Reds
3-0 1.89 ERA, 19 IP, 17 K 8 BB
Impressive stats for a flyball pitcher at GAP

NOT HOT

Joe Crede-Hitting a weak .163 in 49 ABs with 1 HR
Chris B. Young-.188 in 48 ABs with 13 Ks
Derek Jeter-A rare .190 in 58 ABs
Carlos Silva-6.10 ERA in 20.2 IP giving up 14 ER
Chuck James-8.31 ERA in 13.0 IP giving up 11ER


BLAST FROM THE PAST

Doug Mientkiewicz- .429/.489/.714 in 42 AB

Me and JP will be doing an All Star break power rankings, since apparently our hot chicks one has scared everyone else away from doing them because we rule so much
