Our current batting leaders...

 

More importantly, OBP leaders: Cowgill (.411) - Trout (.396) - Kendrick (.391) - Iannetta (.375)

 

Slugging Pct. leaders: Pujols (.580) - Trout (.564) - Cowgill (.510)

 

Back to Collin Cowgill, how's this for a slash line to go along with his good outfield defense. .327/.411/.510

[Dave Saltzer]

Cowgill is definitely making the most of his time right now. No doubt about that!

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I'm blow away by Cowgills production thus far. I figured him to be a fifth outfielder capable of filling in occasionally, definitely not putting up the slash line he's sporting. Props to him for stepping up and props to JR for bringing him in.

Ive always liked Cowgill but never been too sure why. Glad he is doing well. Still doesnt get a lot of love though hopefully that'll change.

I was anti Cowgill from the time spring started and was actually annoyed he made the team.  He's been terrific and I am happy to be proved wrong.

Do you think Cowgill is sent down when Calhoun and Hamilton return? I'd really hate for that to happen but who else would they send down? We have Ibanez, Stewart and McDonald assuming Jimenez is sent down again once Freese is activated from the DL.

I doubt it.   I think the primary reason Cowgill made the team out of spring training over Shuck is because he's really the only guy that can play CF besides Trout.   Stewart and Ibanez are probably the ones playing to save themselves in the next couple weeks before Hamilton and Calhoun return.

Cowgill put up some really good numbers in the minors. I figured he could be a solid hitter. Seems like the perfect #4 OFer for this team. Halos position player depth actually looks good right now

[Angelsjunky]

And just think: Trout hasn't really gotten going yet. In his last two years he started slowish for about a month and then caught fire.

 

Cowgill's been great but let's not be disappointed when his numbers drop. No way he sustains this production forever. Maybe .270+/.750? That would be solid for a 4th outfielder.
