Or possibly M. Cabrera or very close anyways.
I think Cabrera has dropped off some, but he's still hitting about .370 and is over .450 with RISP.

Puig has 60 ab's ?
lets see what happens when he makes it around the league the second time.
And the good news for Red Sox fans is that since Bailey only threw 9 pitches tonight, he'll be ready to go tomorrow.
At least Leyland didn't run Valverde out there for the 9th or it would have went the other way.
Wasn't long ago that the Tigers were looking to Bailey to possibly be thier Closer, before Valverde came in the most recent time.
6 now
He hit another one today so far.

The surprising Padres drive the Dodgers further back into last place in the West. Padres are now 2.5 games out of 1st. Unbelievable!
I see that Manny Ramirez has been let out of his Taiwan League contract a week or so early to better enable him to get a major league contract, either here or in Japan. Maybe he's the answer for the missing righthanded power hitter for the Red Sox. Hell, Bill Buckner and Tony Conigliaro both came back.
I shouldn't have qualified it so tightly. My point is that early in the year lots of guys can go 4 for 9 and have their average dip.
Iggy has 3 hits tonight, including a triple and is now back up to .431 and slugging .579 in 102 at-bats. Who knows? Maybe he IS a .400 hitter!
And like I was saying way back in spring training, come mid-season, the Red Sox two most dependable starters will be John Lackey and Alfredo Aceves.

Two for three tonight, up to .438...
According to the Boston herald, Iglesias is only the third rookie in the last 49 years to have at least 43 hits in his first 100 at-bats, joining Tony Oliva (1964) and Luke Scott (2006)

And what is most amazing is that even though Luke Scott hit over .330 in about 250 plate appearances that year, he didn't get a single vote for Rookie of the Year. That is because each voter picks a first, second, and third place candidate, and four of the candidates had really strong first years and garnered nearly all the votes. In fact, Prince Fielder finished seventh in spite of hitting 28 homers and driving in 81 runs that year.
Tony Oliva got 19 out of 20 votes. Wally Bunker, a Baltimore Oriole's starting pitcher who went 19-5, got the other vote. Back then, the voters only selected one player each. For eight years, Oliva was as good as any player in the American League, but he has a severe leg injury that cost him all but ten games in 1972, and he would have had to retire except that the American League adopted the designated hitter rule in 1973, so Oliva hung on for four more years but was too beat up to even be an effective DH. Don't be surprised if, some day, one of those Hall of Fame, Old Timer ccmmittees lets him in.
