Alex Verdugo is balling out in Oklahoma City. Quite frankly there is not anything left for him to prove in the minors. Verdugo is currently slashing .339/.390/.486 with Triple-A OKC. The 22-year-old Arizona native has seen limited time with the big league club. In those 14 games in the bigs this year he has fourteen hits with six of which went for extra bases.
He will without a doubt be a September call-up but it wouldn’t hurt to have him up now and helping this offense that has hit a dry spell as of late aside from last night’s outburst.
