Gold

Cliff Lee - Cleveland Indians - It's been a great story for Lee so far this season.  Lee was 18-5 with a 3.79 ERA in 2005, but has struggled since. He shuffled among the disabled list, the minors and the Indians rotation last season, never finding his groove. This year however, he really seems to be returning to that 2005 form, and weeks like this one will only help his cause.  Here's what he did: 2 W, 0 L in 16.0 IP with 16 K's, an ERA of 0.56 and a WHIP of a disgusting 0.31.

Silver

Ervin Santana - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Orange County, California, USA, North America, Earth - The youngster has come up huge for the Angels to this point in the season.  So much so, that the usually stoic Mike Scioscia was effusive in his praise for his young ace.  After the game Saturday, Scioscia told the AP; "He was really loaded and just had great life on that fastball -- with command. I think he's shown that his stuff can play up here in the big leagues in a big way."  That's big praise coming from Scioscia.  Here's what Santana did this past week: 2 W, 0 L, 15.0 IP, 14 K, an ERA of 2.40, and a WHIP of 0.73.

Bronze

Javier Vasquez - Chicago White Sox - Javier Vasquez was once in the same rotation with Pedro Martinez in Montreal.  He persevered through his time there, and became one of the most sought-after commodities in the game.  He was signed by the Yankees in 2004, and after a poor season, seemed to lose confidence.  He eventually ended up in Chicago, and last year had his 15-8 year.  Not much was expected from him this year.  He was supposed to be a back of the rotation guy; but in reality, Vasquez seems to have regained his form from five years ago; helping the White Sox to their hot start.  Vasquez' week: 2 W's, 0 L's, 13.1 IP, 13 K's, an ERA of 1.35 and a WHIP of 0.90.
