| American League Player of the Week |
 |
Pitchers who faced the Cleveland Indians last week were happy to see Ichiro Suzuki in the rear view mirror. The 34-year-old right fielder was dubbed the American League Player of the Week for a 4-game tear that produced a .688 on base percentage and a 1.000 slugging percentage.
Those numbers came, in part, from 1 base on balls and 3 extra-base hits, to go along with 7 runs batted in and 3 runs scored.
Suzuki is hitting .410 so far this season with 12 RBI and 11 runs scored. He has 25 hits including 2 doubles, no triples, and 4 home runs. |

Lee is hitting at a .405 mark so far in 2008. He has collected 20 singles, 6 doubles, and 3 home runs, punching across 12 runs batted in to date. Lee has struck out 20 times, grabbing 6 bases on balls for the year. He has a .450 OBP and an OPS of 1.085. |
