Another week of baseball is in the books and I've got winners, losers, and waiver wire wonders for week seven. Keep in mind, the stats I show are the players stats for the week, not on the season. Let’s go!

Winners

C — Joe Mauer — Minnesota Twins — .458 BA, 11 H, 12 R, 2 Doubles, 4 HR, 13 RBI, 4 BB

Hot, Hot, Hot. That’s what Mauer has been since returning from a back injury that cost him the first 22 games of the season. All he’s done is hit .438 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs since his return. If you were smart enough to hang on to him, he must be started in all formats, but if you got tired of waiting for him and dropped him, I’m sure you’re kicking yourself right now. He is easily the top-ranked catcher in the game.

OF — Michael Cuddyer — Minnesota Twins — .448 BA, 13 H, 10 R, 3 Doubles, 1 Triple, 4 HR, 12 RBI, 3 BB

The cycle man is here. Mauer's teammate, Cuddyer was so hot this week that he hit three home runs and seven RBIs from Monday through Thursday and then followed that with the cycle on Friday. His monster week raises his season average to .287 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs. Start him while he’s hot.

3B — Mark Reynolds — Arizona Diamondbacks — .357 BA, 10 H, 6 R, 1 Double, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 5 BB, 6 SB

Reynolds has always been known for his bat, but this week he surprised us all with six stolen bases. Now, five of those came in a double header against Florida, but hey, I’ll take six stolen bases in a week any way I can get them. Not to mention he also slugged four home runs, with nine RBIs. He now has 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases on the year and should continue to hit home runs, so keep him active. A 25-25 year isn't out of the realm of possibility for this rising star in the desert.

SP — Chris Young — San Diego Padres — 13 IP, 2 W, 3 ER, 9 HA, 10 K

Young had a pretty good week for the first time in a while. He put together back-to-back quality starts, going six innings on Tuesday and seven innings on Sunday, winning both games. His ERA has been high this year, but it looks like he is getting back into a groove, so go ahead and start him, but watch out for the occasional blow up.  He has allowed six homers this year, but four of those came in one start against the Chicago Cubs.  Playing in pitcher-friendly San Diego should result in good numbers in the long run for Young.

RP — Jonathan Broxton — Los Angeles Dodgers — 5 IP, 1 W, 2 SV, 0 ER, 3 HA, 5 K
