While the overall mood surrounding the Angels is melancholic, the organization and fanbase did receive some good news Monday morning. Superstar shortstop Zach Neto was awarded the American League Player of the Week Award after he singlehandedly dismantled the Los Angeles Dodgers and was a one-man army against the Athletics.
For the week overall, Neto posted a .320 batting average in six games played. He swatted four home runs and drove in eight runs overall as he tries to drag this team to the playoffs. Neto has consistently been the best player on the Angels all season, and has been knocking on the door of the most elite group of shortstops in the big leagues.
