Scott named Player of the Week

Orioles designated hitter Luke Scott was named the American League Player of the Week for the period ending July 25. It was the third time that he's won the weekly honor, the last coming on June 1, 2009.

Scott, who was activated from the disabled list on July 19, hit .481 (13-for-27) with four home runs, three doubles, six runs and eight RBIs. He hit safely in each of the seven games (five of those were multi-hit contests) during the period and posted a 1.037 slugging percentage.

Trade him for what? Another warm body? Unless he's part of a package, he's not worth much.

Anyway, congrats on the award, Luke. Don't cool off too quick

About the bloggers

A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer. If you want more of his insight on the Orioles and other sports issues, check out his personal blog -- The Schmuck Stops Here.
