Jacoby Ellsbury grabs my POTW. The Red Sox centerfielder provided a spark that the slumbering Sox needed.
Ellsbury went 14-32 for the week with 12 runs scored, 4 RBI, and 4 stolen bases including a home run, and 2 triples to go with 5 base on balls.
To top it off, the native of Madras, Oregon showed some magic with his glove as he stole a pair of runs from the Orioles with this grab.
Who gets your POTW?

Catriona Matthew won the Women’s British Open and is the first Scottish born player to win an LPGA major event. She also did so just 10 weeks after giving birth to her second child.
Derrick Lee had a great week for the Cubbies … hit .440 with 2 HRs, 7 RBI and 7 runs scored. Too bad Kevin Gregg stole defeat from the jaws of victory yesterday by allowing b-t-b HR’s in the 9th for the loss.
Rey … anyone who can win a golf major just 10 weeks after giving birth is truly remarkable. I second your nomination for Catriona Matthew!!! Well done.
