MLB Top Weekly Performances - Right Fielders

The final week of the season saw a RF trying to salvage a lost season, a proud RF who mostly DH'd this year, and one of the biggest surprises of the season top the performance list for the week.  These players' performances certainly did not make it any easier to determine how next year's draft should look:  

Gold

Travis Buck (Oakland Athletics) - Buck had a very disappointing 2008 season after showing such promise in 2007, but he at least ended the season on a high note.  Buck hit .429 while smacking three HR, driving in nine runs, and scoring three.  In so doing, Buck barely cracked the .225 mark for the season, a season filled with injury and demotions to the minors.  The A's still hold a lot of hope for Buck, and his strong play since being called up in September gives reason to believe he could be a sleeper yet again next season.

Silver

Vladimir Guerrero (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) - It has not been your typical Vlad year, as Guerrero seemed never able to get on a real hot streak.  After May, though, he was mostly consistent, and a very strong September allowed him to crack the .300 barrier yet again.  For the week, Guerrero hit .421 with three HR, six RBI, and four runs scored, capping off a September in which he hit .412 with a .691 SLG.  Nonetheless, Guerrero's stock probably falls a little again in next year's draft.

Bronze

Shin-Soo Choo (Cleveland Indians) - Choo was a very pleasant surprise for the Indians this season.  Too little, too late for the Indians, but not for owners of Choo who were in the fantasy championship hunt.  Choo hit .304 with a homer and seven RBI, to go along with eight runs scored.  Choo ended up with a .309 AVG for the season, with 14 HR, 66 RBI, 68 R, .397 OBP, and .549 SLG in only 94 games, leaving Cleveland with some interesting questions as to what they will do with their outfield next season.  Keep an eye on Cleveland transactions involving outfielders to determine what Choo's status will be for next year, though it will be hard for Cleveland to justify not giving him a solid chance at a starting job.
