Your point is well taken, but watching him play...he wasn't stinging balls that hit people's mitts in April, and he's not hitting bloopers that happen to fall in now. He was legitimately lost in April...and legitimately found it in May. What that suggests to me is that Ryan is CAPABLE of hitting .300 for stretches...but that he can't do it consistently...he's not talented enough to be productive when he's not seeing the ball well or not feelig 100% or not fully comfortable at the plate, etc.
The question remains...how long can Ryan stay hot and give us 100 OPS+ or better streaks to keep the offense afloat...whether this is luck or a hot streak caused by skill, the conclusion is probably the same...he probably won't hit like this for long.
