Phillie of the Week: May 16-22

The Phils had an average go of things this week, finishing with a 4-3 record and almost getting no-hit last night. However, there were some good parts of the week, as several Phils put in solid efforts. It's a tough call this time out, but this week's Phillie of the Week is:

Cole Hamels

Cole was on top of his game this week, and it showed on the mound both times he pitched. Hamels went 2-0, with a 1.98 ERA in starts against the Brewers and Red Sox. He allowed just nine hits and three runs while striking out 11 and walking four batters in 13.2 innings. So far this year, Cole has shown some glimpses of returning back to his 2008 form, and his 5-2 record on the season might be another indication of that. He's healthy and looks really good for the first time in a year and a half.
