Today, the International League revealed that 3rd Baseman Andy Marte is the player of the week. Marte, who was sent to the Clippers on feb. 25th after a succsessful 2008 season with the Indians, is one of the best players currently in the lineup for the Clippers. Over the past week, Marte has had some pretty amazing stats:

• .478 Batting Average (a .307 overall)
• He has hit 2 doubles, 2 home runs, and 8 RBIs
• He has scored 4 times
• He has struck out only once
• .826 SLG
• Jim Massie from the Columbus Dispatch also pointed out that Marte has 20 RBIs in June.

These are pretty impressive statistics. Too bad Marte can’t make the rest of the team better.
