He is batting .423.  His OBP is .500 and his OPS is 1.115.  It's only 7 games, so its a small sample size.  Still, it's impressive, particularly in Wilmington where we keep hearing about it being death valley for hitters.  Obvously his hand and his eyesight are much better, but now the early promotion last year makes a lot more sense to me.  Wonder when he will be promoted to Arkansas?

Assuming that Montgomery and Hosmer are at Arkansas by the end of the year, the Naturals should be in the playoffs again.  Last year Burlington, Wilmington and Northern Arkansas all made the playoffs - hopefully this year that will extend to Omaha.
