Give it up for Kirk Nieuwenhuis. He has had one heck of a month. He leads all MLB rookies in AVG, OBP, OPS and is 2nd in SLG by 1 percentage point. Can you say NL Rookie of the Month?

Nieuwenhuis has been impressive and while we can’t expect he will keep it up (well, we can dream, can’t we?) he has been a pleasant surprise.
BTW I think over in the AL, Jesus Montero ( so far that trade has not worked out for the Yankees) will be ROY and that kid Bryce Harper in the NL.

yeah, they already engraved Harper on the trophy as soon as he got called up.
cepedes with 19 RBI already? Good start. I was hoping the Mets would make a run at him, but oh well.

Stuck this game is all on you. You better be sucking down the NB tonight to make up for it.

Kirk has certainly been impressive in April.
I’m sure he’ll come back down to earth a bit as time goes on. Not even sure he’ll still be up here when Bay returns.
