We had three different players receive Player of the Week votes. Bradenton infielder Tsung-Che Cheng won out in the voting by putting up a .389/.560/.611 slash line in 26 plate appearances. That OPS was the sixth best in the system for the week, but no one ahead of him reached 20 plate appearances, so he got the nod for not only the quality, but quantity of quality work. Cheng also adds defensive value and brings plenty of speed to the lineup. He’s been a solid presence at the top of the Bradenton lineup this year and in the middle of the field, mostly playing shortstop, but he’s seen some time at second base recently as well.
