Phillie of the Week: July 4-10

The Phillies turned a bad start to this past week into a good finish by winning the first three games of their series against the Cincinnati Reds. This past week, the rosters for the 2010 All Star Game were released, and while there have been some great showings by the Phils, this honor is going to be shared by three players. This week's Phillies of the Week are:

Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Roy Halladay: The All Stars

While Chase Utley will not be playing in the All Star Game, he was elected as a starter once again, while Ryan Howard and Roy Halladay were chosen by the players to make the team. All three are deserved, with Utley hitting .277 with 11 home runs and 37 RBI, Howard hitting .294 with 17 home runs and a team leading 65 RBI, and Halladay picking up a 10-7 record with an amazing 2.19 ERA and 128 strikeouts compared to just 19 walks.

It's been an interesting season so far, but it's only halfway over, and if the last few games are any indication, then the Phillies should be in for a solid second half.
