Ariel Armas has been roughly a league average hitter in the Midwest League going back to the start of June.  Definitely a guy to keep an eye on if his defensive reputation is at all accurate.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's easy to give up on a guy who enters June with a 0.150 BA and sub 0.500 OPS. 

Another likely non-prospect who is hitting well recently is Reivaj Garcia
