PIONEERS' BLAYLOCK & STARS' BOGGS WIN 2024 SIM 12 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK AWARDS

Huge Deal Between Boston & Cleveland Sends Reigning SL Hurler Of The Year Puffer & Former SL MVP Bryant To Brownies; Charlotte's Hikaru Leads First Wave Of 2024 Draftee Signings With $7,500,000 Signing Bonus

A battle-tested Ken Blaylock declared war on opposing pitchers last week, attacking the ball like the well-schooled veteran he is. Today the 34-year-old Oregon first baseman collected the Union League Player of the Week Award.

He wrapped up the week with a .522 average, 12 hits in 23 at-bats, 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 7 runs scored.

Hitting .218 to date, Blaylock has 6 home runs and 20 RBIs. He has played in 73 games.

There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask Matthew Boggs, the Hollywood catcher, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the Syndicate League Player of the Week honors.

Boggs piled up 8 hits in 22 at-bats, 4 home runs and 10 RBIs while hitting .364.

This year Boggs is hitting at a .311 pace with 10 home runs and 39 RBIs. He has played in 68 games and scored 46 times.
