So far in July, still doesn't make the cut: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.asp...ers=0&sort=7,d
So basically, you're arguing for one brief snapshot sometime between July 1-9, his .358 put him top 3. Given the number of averages above that before and after, I'm still highly skeptical. It's pretty much a bullshit stat you invoked. He's not "top 3 over the last month." For possibly one day or two in early July, he was, and I don't even believe that. |
Per Rotoworld
Alcides Escobar finished 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win against the Twins.
Escobar has been swinging a hot twig since the middle of June, going 31-for-83 (.373) with seven doubles, a homer and 10 RBI over the past 21 games to raise his average from .178 to .230. He has recorded multi-hit games in six of his past nine outings.
