Week Seven

So, A-Rod was the hero of April - no big surprise. The hero of May, so far, has been . . . Jack Cust? The cool thing about Jack Cust might just be his pun-alicious last name. His name is so headline friendly, with such classics as "Twins get Cust out!" and "A's pick right time to take Cust-ody of outfielder." and "A's Phenom is no ordinary Cust-omer."

But all kidding aside, while Albert Pujols and Paul Konerko and Manny Ramirez and Bobby Abreu and Michael Young and a host of other players continue to struggle in 2007, Cust has 8 homeruns, 20 RBI, and 16 walks in only 14 games. He didn't even make his 2007 debut until May 6th!

As a side-note - this year's Chris Shelton Award goes to Ian Kinsler. Seriously, has that guy gotten a hit in May yet?

Without further ado, here are the Week Seven Power Rankings. Enjoy and, as always, feel free to comment.
