Mondesi had two more hits in Omaha tonight, too. They got bombed (Staumont walked six in less than two innings, regressing BIG TIME), but Mondesi and Soler keep crushing.

The 1-4 of Billy Burns, Mondesi, Starling, and Soler is probably better than the 1-4 Dayton Moore inherited or put on the field in 2007.

If the improvement Bubba Starling has made sticks/holds, they should give Omaha hitting coach Tommy Gregg a medal*. A simple mechanical change for Starling suddenly has him hitting to all fields and made his strikeout rate plummet (a guy with a career 32 percent K rate entering the year, Starling has dropped that to twenty percent since the beginning of May - that's 150 ABs).

*Maybe he needs to spend a few weeks in Alex Gordon's spare room?
