Players of the Week -
Appalachian League:
There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask Jack Strafford, the Raleigh second baseman, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the Appalachian Player of the Week honors.
Strafford piled up 11 hits in 24 at-bats, no home runs and 8 RBIs while hitting .458.

Piedmont League:
At the age of 32, Jim Taylor might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Durham second baseman put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .500 batting average. For his efforts Taylor collected the Piedmont Player of the Week Award.
He racked up 5 hits in 10 at-bats, 3 home runs and 5 RBIs last week in 4 games.
