You could argue Lynn and Scherzer, but Wainwright and Masterson had better weeks.

He only had 4 at-bats in the last 7 days. These other guys raked the entire week. But now he is mentioned. : )

Too bad this list didn't come out a little later...he's now 11 for 16, and just went yard (3 on the year).

His is a great story, but he hit .273 the past 7 days with only 6 hits. 3 HRs is nice, but 8 other players hit 3+ HRs. This list doesn't take into account stories, it's straight-up stats based and features players who played the majority of the last 7 days and were at or near the top of the leaderboards in more than one category. This is why I depend on others bringing up players. Adams and Gattis are performing well and certainly should at least be mentioned in the thread, and now are.

Harvey has been dominant...don't see how Jose Fernandez is not included on the list...Marlins offense is worst in MLB and he is getting no run support. He is missing a lot of bats, and showing maturity beyond his years. The no hit bid Harvey had working is top of mind for most which would put Fernandez a close second IMO...I would say Fernandez is matching Harvey thus far.

The top stat is a nice addition especially the more unusual stats like scherzer's k%.
