Per BP:
Watson is spending his fourth season in Triple-A this year. He’s one of those contact guys who is kept out of the big leagues because he doesn’t have any power (.058 ISO this year) and he doesn’t walk (11 in 228 at-bats). What he can do is line singles all over the place however, and yesterday he did just that, extending his current hitting streak to an International League-record 43 games. There are worst fourth and fifth outfielders in the big leagues, but for now, Watson needs to keep it up for another month or so to catch Joe Wilhoit’s minor league record of 69 games for Wichita in the 1919 Western League.
