Another week is in the books, and the Boston Red Sox<\/a> are still atop the American League East and possess the best record in baseball. During the week starting on May 3, the Sox finished with a record of 5-1. It’s been said that a sign of a good team is them beating up on inferior opposition. Against lesser opponents in the Detroit Tigers<\/a> and the Baltimore Orioles<\/a>, positive results were expected this week. It was the perfect week for those whose stock was low to make an impression and end up on the rise list. Let’s see who took full advantage and who still hasn’t quite gotten it all together just yet.<\/p>\n

Red Sox Risers<\/h2>\n

Hunter Renfroe- Oh what a difference a week makes. Renfroe found himself on the downside of last weeks’ list<\/a>. It hasn’t been a pretty season at the dish for the 29-year old but this week has provided Red Sox Nation with some hope. In May he has a .914 OPS. In just this week he’s raised his batting average 30 points (.191 to .221). He even belted the team’s longest home run this season against the Orioles (450 feet), to boot.<\/p>\n
