Is this finally him starting to put it all together? That slash line he has put up since his disastrous first 8 games would put him in top 20 prospect discussions. Prior to tonight

.307/.357/.465  141wRC+ 7.2BB% and 25.5K% in AA and he turned 22 11 days ago.

I don't know that I'm ready to do it just yet, but he's certainly not far outside my top 10 right now. I'd really like to see him get a month in A+ before the this season finishes out.

So, Mo rocked a golden sombrero tonight. Anyone watch? See anything that stood out in his approach?

Since getting to Iowa his contact rates have been much lower than a strikeout rate in the teens would indicate.  This was probably always due.

I'm not worried longer term, but he is most definitely not a guy who's imminent.
