Well....

...it's been a month, and Kubel has only gotten better. Here are his numers for June:

.326/.423/.674 for an OPS of 1.097

4 HR, 10 RBI, and, most importantly, a K:BB of 6:8.

That is incredible. After his so-so start, here's how his numbers are as of today:

.263/.315/.461 for an OPS of .776

10 HR, 38 RBI, and a K:BB of 41:18.

If he keeps up this level of play, he should enter the ASB with solid numbers, and if he has a second half like he did last year, we could see his greatest year yet, and hopefully it will be an indication that his knee problems are behind him.
