Kansas City Statistics
Edgar Noriega is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest American League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.
In April the Kansas City hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .342 average with 25 hits, 7 home runs and 22 RBIs.
25-year-old Chris Morrow sent shock waves through Major League Baseball last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the American League Player of the Week Award.
A newcomer to the league, Morrow made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .474 average, 9 hits in 19 at-bats, 4 home runs and 5 runs batted in.
Where the Kansas City Royals left fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Morrow certainly made his mark last week.
This season, Morrow has hit 8 home runs and posted a .308 batting average.
