Gold

Ryan Ludwick - OF - St. Louis Cardinals - Ludwick has been in the lineup and on fire as of late, hitting nearly .500 and slugging the ball all over the yard as of late.  We'll see how long it continues for, but for now, one should definitely keep their eye on him.  Here's Ludwick past week: He batted .478 (11/23) 4 HR, 9 RBI, 5 Runs Scored, 8 Ks, and had an OPS of 1.610.

Silver

Garret Anderson - OF - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim which isn't really Los Angeles at all but 30 miles away in Orange County near Disneyland - Once upon a time, Anderson was considered "the most underrated player in baseball".  After carrying that designation for three years or so, he became the "player who's been called underrated so many times he's become overrated".  Then he disappeared, and zombies took over his body (except when they played the Red Sox, then Anderson showed up and ripped the hearts out of Boston fans on a regular basis).  Now?  He's back, and if he keeps putting up numbers like this, he just might become "underrated" again.  Anderson week in review: He batted .400 (8/20) 3 HR, 10 RBI, 4 Runs Scored, 3 Ks, and had an OPS of 1.379.

Bronze

Carl Crawford - OF - Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays - He's good.  What else is there to say?  He's sick in the field; he's sick at the plate and should be an All-Star for the bulk of his career.  Here's what he did last week: He batted .304 (7/23) 1 HR, 5 RBI, 4 Runs Scored, 4 SBs, 3 Ks, and had an OPS of .792.
