Vlad's September is remembered [轉貼]
Guerrero is Player of the Month -- first Angel since 1997
By Doug Miller / MLB.com
OAKLAND -- Vladimir Guerrero's scorching late September run
has not only helped the Angels get into the playoff picture.
It has earned the outfielder American League Player of the
Month honors, the first time an Angel has won the award
since Tim Salmon did it in 1997.
Guerrero batted .371 (39-for-105) with 10 home runs, 24 runs,
six doubles, a triple and 23 RBIs to win the award for the
first time in his debut season in the AL.
He also stole five bases and posted a .733 slugging percentage
and a .431 on-base percentage.
Guerrero clinched the award with his incredible performance
in a four-game series in Texas late in the month, when he went
12-for-17 with five homers, nine RBIs and eight runs scored.
Guerrero's dominance of the Rangers inspired Texas
manager Buck Showalter to say, "Guerrero
... are we facing him tomorrow? Are we done with him? He's something.
He's really something."
The Texas series enabled Guerrero to set a club record for runs
scored this season with an AL-high 123.
He is the second player in club history to have a season with at
least 120 runs and 120 RBIs, joining Don Baylor (1979), and the
second player to hit at least .300 with 30 homers and 100 RBIs,
along with Salmon in 1995. This is Guerrero's sixth career monthly award.
Johan Santana of the Minnesota Twins won AL Pitcher of
the Month and Chicago's Ross Gload was named Rookie of the Month.
