Who Will Be Top Dawg of the Week for Red Sox Against Indians and Yankees? Each week on NESN.com, Don Orsillo gets to answer questions in his mailbag. Jerry Remy is joining the online fun with his weekly Top Dawg of the Week Award.

Every Monday, NESN.com will release which Red Sox players are  the Top Dawg contenders. The following Sunday, Jerry will pick a Top Dawg of the Week.

But Jerry also wants to hear from you, Red Sox Nation, and find out who you think is the week’s Top Dawg for the Red Sox. Every Monday until Sunday, fans can vote for their Top Dawg of the Week. At the end of the week, we’ll see if Jerry's Top Dawg matches up with Red Sox Nation's Top Dawg.

This week, the Top Dawg contenders are David Ortiz, Jed Lowrie, Josh Beckett and Kevin Youkilis.

Ortiz is 4-for-11 with a homer and five RBIs against Fausto Carmona, Cleveland's Monday night starter. He's also batting .320 with three homers and 10 RBIs in his last six games.

Lowrie is swinging a hot bat off the DL and has five hits, two runs and two RBIs in his last four games. 

Beckett is looking for just his third win of the year but is facing a weak Indians lineup at Fenway Park, where he is 31-18 in his career.

Youkilis has struggled against Carmona but swings a big stick when facing the Tribe, as he has a lifetime .330 batting average against Cleveland as well as five homers and 26 RBIs. He's also batting .500 with a pair of dingers at Yankee Stadium this season.

Feel free to vote for "Other," and you can specify which other Red Sox player you're voting for by leaving your choice in the comments section below.
