Offensive Players of the Week

International League
David Murphy, Pawtucket
.400 (10-25), 7 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 6 BB, 1 SO, 2 SB, .920 SLG
Murphy received a call-up to Pawtucket on May 26 after hitting .273 over 172 at-bats with the Eastern League's Portland Sea Dogs. Since then, the 24-year-old Texan has hit in 14 of 16 games and is currently in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak. On Sunday, Murphy's three-run homer in the eighth inning powered the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over Richmond. Of the 10 hits the center fielder collected this week, seven went for extra bases.

Pacific Coast League
Chris Carter, Tucson
.476 (10-21), 7 R, 0 2B, 0 3B, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 7 BB, 1 SO, 2 SB, 1.048 SLG
Carter went yard four times over his first 196 at-bats on the season before connecting for four home runs in a span of just 12 at-bats this week. Three of those dingers came in one game, as Carter's impressive power surge lifted the Sidewinders to an 11-0 rout of the Portland Beavers on Monday. The 23-year-old first baseman added another dinger as part of a three-hit, four-RBI performance on Friday.

Eastern League
Shelley Duncan, Trenton
.429 (9-21), 6 R, 0 2B, 0 3B, 5 HR, 9 RBI, 0 BB, 3 SO, 1 SB, 1.143 SLG
It was a wonderful weekend for Duncan, who hit a pair of home runs on both Saturday and Sunday as Trenton won back-to-back games against the Reading Phillies. The 26-year-old first baseman leads the Eastern League in home runs (15) and extra-base hits (34), while his .543 slugging percentage ranks second. Duncan's nine-hit week raised his average to .253 on the season, the highest it has been since May 14.

Southern League
Miguel Negron, West Tenn
.765 (13-17), 5 R, 5 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1 SB, 1.176 SLG
It's hard to get any hotter than Negron was this week -- the 23-year-old native of Puerto Rico collected at least two hits in all five games in which he received an official at-bat. Negron has hit safely in his last seven at-bats and will have a chance to continue his streak on Tuesday against Huntsville. Negron is hitting .400 with the Diamond Jaxx since debuting with the team on May 21.

Texas League
Mitch Maier, Wichita
.458 (11-24), 9 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 3 BB, 4 SO, 0 SB, .708 SLG
Maier has hit safely in his last 10 ballgames and collected five multi-hit games this week alone. The center fielder homered and drove in a season-high five runs on Tuesday as the Wranglers coasted to an 11-4 win over Springfield. On Sunday, Maier closed out his big week with a tie-breaking ninth-inning home run against the Tulsa Drillers.

California League
Ben Harrison, Bakersfield
.409 (9-22), 5 R, 0 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 5 BB, 5 SO, 1 SB, .773 SLG

Bakersfield only won two games this week, and Harrison played a key role in both of them. The 23-year-old left fielder drove in five runs on Tuesday to lead Bakersfield to an 8-3 win over Lancaster and went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored in Sunday's win over Modesto. Harrison currently leads the Blaze in home runs (13) and RBIs (47).

Carolina League
Trevor Crowe, Kinston
.565 (13-23), 7 R, 3 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 4 RBI, 6 BB, 2 SO, 5 SB, .783 SLG
Crowe has his safely in eight straight games, during which time his average has increased from .297 to .329. The switch-hitting center fielder leads the Carolina League in hits (72) and on-base percentage (.449), while his 29 steals rank second. Crowe went 3-for-3 with three runs scored against Wilmington on Wednesday and followed that up with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI against Myrtle Beach on Thursday. The Indians won both games.

Florida State League
Rodolfo Guillen, Tampa
.417 (10-24), 3 R, 4 2B, 0 3B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 2 BB, 1 SO, 1 SB, .708 SLG
Guillen's 10-hit week raised his average with Tampa from a dismal .203 to a far more respectable .261. On Saturday, the center fielder had his best game of the year as Tampa defeated Dunedin, 10-8. Guillen hit a solo homer in the fifth inning, a two-run double in the sixth and a two-run single in the seventh -- not bad for a day's work.

Midwest League
Jay Bruce, Dayton
.483 (14-29), 4 R, 7 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 8 RBI, 3 BB, 5 SO, 1 SB, .724 SLG
Half of Bruce's 14 hits this week went for two bases, and the 19-year-old Texan now leads the Midwest League with 23 doubles on the season. The Dragons won just two games this week -- both against Lansing -- and Bruce played a key role in each. The right fielder went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored on Wednesday and 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a run scored on Friday.

South Atlantic League
Michael Carlin, Hickory
.412 (14-34), 8 R, 6 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 BB, 7 SO, 0 SB, .824 SLG
Hickory played eight games this week, and Carlin hit safely in all of them. The 23-year-old first baseman particularly excelled in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against Greensboro, when he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI. On Sunday, Carlin capped his big week with a home run against the West Virginia Power, his second dinger over 64 at-bats with the Crawdads.
