This kid has turned into such a beast. 7 home runs already. That is second in the majors, and he by far has the most per at bat. I knew the kid could hit, but I wasn't thinking he'd be anything more than about a 20 HR kinda guy a year. He is our MVP so far. Him or Robinson Tejeda.

The Rangers are hitting as a team .217 worst in the MLB
.291 OBP worst in MLB
17 doubles as a team 3rd worst in MLB

4.99 ERA good for a tie of 3rd worst in MLB
21 HRs given up tied for worst in MLB
70 Ks by our pitchers good for 2nd to last in the MLB

Although they are only through 15 games, you have to start to worry sometime.

Its not just the home runs thats the impresive thing, he has great plate coverage and rarely swings at bad pitches.

he'll hit 30 home runs this year.

BUMP. Ian Kinsler actually sorta underperformed that year after his hot start.

However, this year shows that hes not just a flash in the pan. He really is a beast. Now if only he could work on his errors...
