Week 2: Eduardo Núñez

Before I discuss my MLBoyfriend from last week, it's important to note that my choices are not necessarily the players who have the best week on the field--or even necessarily a very good week. This is a purely subjective "award" based on my reflection on the past week in baseball. That said...

My MLBoyfriend for the second week of play is Eduardo Núñez of the Minnesota Twins. Núñez had a very good--but not great week--with a .462 average and on OPS of 1.226. He scored three runs and had one stolen base. Again, a solid week, but not stellar. The reason I chose him is because, to put it mildly, the Twins had a rocky start to the season. Okay, let's face facts, it was so terrible it set the kind of records a team doesn't want to set. Since the Twinkies have a special place in my heart, and they are receiving lots of bad press recently, I wanted to give them a little positive reinforcement by bestowing one of the biggest honors in baseball, being my MLBoyfriend, on one of them.

Fortunately, he survived this scary collision, to finish the game and score a critical run and provide a key hit in the Twins' first win of the season.

Of course Eduardo is also pretty easy on the eyes.
