Least Valuable Position Player: Runner Up

Freddy Galvis

A terrible week puts Galvis in the LVPP race. The switch-hitting shortstop went 3 for 21 this week with no extra-base hits to his credit.

With J.P. Crawford struggling through his first ten games in Triple-A, Galvis is safe for now, but a .143 is not going to do well for a player’s confidence.

Least Valuable Pitcher: Runner Up

Jeanmar Gomez

Gomez has had a poor start to the year and this week was no different. The former closer was mashed for six hits and five earned runs in just 3.1 innings.

It’s starting to seem as if 2016 was just a flash in the pan making it a little more disheartening that the righty wasn’t dealt at last year’s deadline.
