All-Star Break Update

Here are Kubel's numbers at the All-Star Break.

.262/.331/.461, 13 HR, 44 RBI

Those numbers are mostly reflective of a strong June, in which Kubel hit:

.312/.409/.636, 6 HR, 15 RBI

However, the most striking thing about June is his 12:14 K:BB ratio, which is a great sign that he is recovering from his slow start. Assuming he has a second half similar to last year, I could see Kubel winding up with these final numbers:

.285/.360/.500, 22 HR, 82 RBI
