And, tonight, Steve Pearce,who has slugged .372 in 679 plate appearances spread out over a six-year career. But he was hitting .318/.419/.568 in Triple-A this year, and he has a career .523 slugging percentage in the minors, so what the heck. You could be disgusted, but might as well try to be amused.
