But I also did a month-by-month split of ALonso's stats. He cooled off rapidly once he hit July. After slugging .515 and .803 (!!!), he went .433-.443-.286 (!!! but the other way) in June-July-August (ths far). Not what I want to see from a guy touted for his power breakthrough.
That said... August (SSS) has been great for OBP, even better than Alonso's torrid April (.444 vs .425). AVG is likewise way up from Jun-Jul (.286 vs .267 and .227). Maybe the power has dipped recently while he's making adjustments? I've heard guys coming back from injury are often recovering AVG before PWR... in fact, I'm pretty sure I heard it here. Too much SSS, or maybe a chance of soemthing in the works which will come out to our advantage over recent (e.g. post-May) performance?
