cooled off a bit. Wasn’t he hitting .216 over the last 31 days? And that power seems to have dried up a bit too (2 home runs in the last month). But hey, at least he’s matched his career high. And he’s still a pretty good bet to finish better than his
career .267 batting average.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black"></span></p>
