Not at Arkansas, one of the worse places ever to hit

Not in Arkansas. Kyle Lewis actually hit better for us as a rookie than he did for Arkansas. Michael Arroyo and Lazaro Montes are hitting much better for Tacoma than they did for Arkansas. Just saw where Felnin Celestin is off to a 9-52 start in Arkansas, bummer.

9 for 52? That is a hot streak for Cal right now.

No. Not even close to what he is doing....Julio is the only guy to put up a 1.000 OPS in the Jerry era and it was 1.002 He is at 1.150.

Oddly, Evan White hit pretty well there and it translated to the next levels in absolutely no way, shape or form whatsoever. He's now 30 and out of baseball, cementing his place as far and away the worst player ever to win a Gold Glove Award.
