Player of the Week: Yomiuri's Miranda
After all of <David Miranda:player#9858>'s years in baseball, some have suggested -- albeit very delicately -- that he should think about calling it quits. But the "mature adult," as he calls himself, showed last week that he's still capable of keeping up with the youngsters. The 35-year-old <Yomiuri:team#292> left fielder was honored today as the Central League Player of the Week.

He fended off all comers by posting a .412 average with 14 hits in 34 at-bats, 3 home runs and 6 RBIs.

In 41 games this season <Miranda:player#9858> has batted at a .363 pace with 65 hits and 9 home runs.
