Here I was reading along, and going, "the next one should be on James Jones" and I get to the end and mabalasek is already on the case!
April: .218/.315/.372, 7 xbh (3 dbl, 3 tpl, 1 HR), 11 BB:23 K
Note the bad month, but still the patience showing up and 3 triples.
May: .200/.339/.356, 8 xbh (5 dbl, 0 tpl, 3 HR), 17 BB: 27 K
Still struggling, but 17 walks!
June: .257/.337/.432, 7 xbh (3 dbl, 2 tpl, 2 HR), 8 BB: 17 K
Starting to show overall progress and still the patience and extra-base pop.
July: .309/.391/.495, 11 xbh (6 dbl, 3 tpl, 2 HR), 11 BB: 19 K
11 xbh and 11 BB in 27 games, with 3 more triples.
August: .331/.381/.472, 11 xbh (7 dbl, 1 tpl, 3 HR), 11 BB: 31 K
Struck out a little more, but also got more hits -- with another 11 xbh and 11 BB.  All the trends in the right direction except for the Ks creeping up at the end.
Season totals: .269/.356/.432, but heavily weighted toward the second half.
491 AB, 24 dbl, 10 tpl, 12 HR, 62 BB: 122 K, 24 SB/10 CS
Background: was mostly considered a pitcher in college, but Ms drafted him in the 2009 4th round as an offensive player.  He's 6-4, 195, hits lefty, played RF in almost every game, but has a handful of appearances at 1B.
