The American League Player of the Week is Dylan Moore. The Seattle Mariners announced Moore had won the award for the first time in his career Monday afternoon, following a week in which he went 10-for-26 with a double, three home runs, and a 1.177 OPS while playing second base and shortstop predominantly. The scorching hot start for Seattle’s 32 year old veteran utility man has been essential excellence for a Mariners club thin and inexperienced in the infield. Following the injury to Ryan Bliss that took out Seattle’s primary 2B, along with lingering oblique tenderness that compounded dicey defensive reps from Jorge Polanco at 3B, Moore has been forced into essentially full-time work once again.
Moore to love, Dylan named AL Player of the Week
