Least Valuable Position Player: Runner Up

More from That Balls Outta Here

Tommy Joseph

Joseph was hot in early/mid May but began to struggle last week. The power hitting righty hit just .150 on the week while striking out seven times.

At this point in time, it is unclear what Tommy Joseph really is but what is clear is that if Joseph has another month like April, he could find himself out of the lineup by July.

Least Valuable Pitcher: Runner Up

Ricardo Pinto

Pinto was lit up over two innings of work. The 23-year-oldrighty surrended six hits, three walks and four earned runs while striking out two.
