Who deserves July awards from Rays?

Let's throw this out there again. The Rays give a monthly award to their top hitter and pitcher. For June, Charlotte's Shawn O'Malley (.284, 22 runs, .400 OBP) and Bowling Green's Matt Moore (2-1, 1.63 ERA, 14 hits allowed, 42 strikeouts, 27.2 innings) won.

Who deserves it for July?

HITTERS
DUR Chris Richard .341, 6 HRs, 13 RBIs, 18 runs
DUR Elliot Johnson .299, 6 HRs, 16 RBIs, 12 runs
MGM Chris Nowak .325, 19 RBIs, 15 runs, .396 OBP
MGM Desmond Jennings .310, 9 RBIs, 18 runs, .406 OBP
PCH Henry Wrigley .308, 22 RBIs, 10 runs
BWG Isaias Velasquez .292, 9 RBIs, 17 runs
HV Eli Sonoqui .299, 15 RBIs, 16 runs
PRI Cody Rogers .353, 18 RBIs, 18 runs, .969 OPS

PITCHERS
DUR Andy Sonnanstine 3-0, 3.00 ERA, 4 starts
DUR Jason Childers 2-1, 1.23 ERA, 4 saves, 12 appearances

BWG Matt Moore 2-1, 1.93 ERA, 6 starts, 39 strikeouts, 32.2 innings
BWG Josh Satow 3-0, 1.13 ERA, 4 saves, 10 appearances, 15 strikeouts, 16 innings

HV Alex Colome 3-0, 1.15 ERA, 6 starts, .124 OBA, 43 strikeouts, 31.1 innings

I'd vote Cody Rogers for the hitter, but the pitcher is tough -- Darin Downs? Alex Colome?

    Agree on Rogers, way to hit the ground running. I'd give PoM to Colome (and Sonnanstine shouldn't count).

    I would vote for Henry Wrigley for hitter of the month and for Aneury Rodriguez for pitcher of the month. Rodriguez seems like a completely different pitcher than the first 3 months of the season.
