How hot is Casey Kotchman? I'm a firm believer that the Kotch we've seen over the last 16 games is a better indication of his talent than the previous 39 games.

First 39 Games:
.254 BA
3 HR
19 RBI's
13 Runs
6 2B
12 K
12 BB

The last 16 games:
BA is up .055 to .309
4 HR
9 RBI's
8 Runs
6 2B
2 K
6 BB

Not to mention his work at 1st base. Did anyone else see the play where Howie threw the ball to Escobar covering 1st and Kotch ducked out of the way recognizing the play developing around him? Amazing baseball mind... he's going to be an Angel great for a loooooong time. I'm excited for him and the organization. GO ANGELS!!! Oh yeah, F ESPN and their biased outlook... bastards.
