Player of the Week, 5/5-5/11: Bubba Bell
After a slow start to 2008, Portland CF Bubba Bell capped off a torrid week at the plate to win SoxProspects.com Player of the Week honors as voted on by the Community. Bell, 25, scorched EL pitchers to a tune of .421/.476/.842 with two home runs and three runs batted in to go along with two doubles and six runs scored. The 2007 California League MVP spent the bulk of his time last season at Lancaster hitting .370 and heading up the league leaders in home runs and runs batted in before receiving the call to Portland for 34 games to finish off 2007.
