Player of the Week, 8/26-9/1: Lara
Known more for his glove work than his bat, Lancaster SS Christian Lara was explosive at the plate last week, swinging the bat at a .353/.522/1.059/1.581 clip (6/17) with three HR, causing the voters to take notice and earning SoxProspects.com Player of the Week honors for the week of August 26-September 1. He also doubled and tripled, batted in nine runs while scoring eight, and walked six times and struck out four. Lara, 22, was signed as an international free agent (Venezuela) in 2002 and spent the 2006 season at Greenville.
