signs of life? 7 hits and a walk over the last 9 games (last game at Pittsburgh, when he had his first hit). More interesting is he's had 4 doubles since then, mostly of the get the ball down between outfielders and beat the throw to 2d variety vs. the blast off the fence type. That's kind of what should work for him in terms of extra base hit potential with his speed. He seems to be getting away from hitting flies, with just 5 on the year per FG. 15 GBs (2 hits), 8 liners (5 hits). Most of his success is when he pulls (actually, practically no success going oppo or up the middle). He's doing well against lefties, actually crushing the ball, it's just we haven't seen that many so small samples. If his eye is good enough, he probably should take anything outer 1/3 of the plate until there's 2 strikes.
