New month, new life

While the team is struggling, one player is finally starting to turn around. That man is Julio Lugo, and since July started is hitting .395/.449/.535. His walks are up, his strikeouts are down, his ground balls are down and his line drives are up. Everything you want from this guy he is doing. Obviously, this numbers are a little inflated, much like his previous stats were really deflated. For the month Lugo has a BABIP of .421, which is unsustainable. That really isn't the point though. He looks like a new player. He has confidence, which for Lugo means a heck of a lot. Since we don't really have another option for a good two years, i hope he can keep this up. At this point, he is a complete wild card, but I'd bet that he hits around .300/.350/.450 the rest of the way. If he can do that, this offense could finally hit its stride.
