Every month the Beavers have one exceptional hitter. This month it was OF Jose Figueroa.
After being acquired from division foe New York Knights last year in a deal involving Harvey Phillips, the Beavers thought they had found the backup OF they sought after.
That didn't work out too well, Figgy struggled with the big club only managing a .220 AVG and .314 OBP. He was sent down to AAA Waba to work on some things.
In Waba he did okay, in 58 games hit .301 with a .375 OBP, not bad.
Figgy struggled in ST, losing the one available OF spot and one backup role on the island. So being sent to AAA wasn't a bad idea.
He was electric for the Waba Ducks, managing a .349 AVG, .410 OBP and a6 SB's. Figgy earned his promotion to the big club when Lee Brouthers couldn't hack it up there.
Since being called up Jose has lit up the BSA up, posting a .375 AVG, .423 OBP and 3 SB in 22 games.
In July he has been exceptionally hot with a near .400 AVG at .396, a .423 OBP.
That tops the AVG and OBP category for the Beavers in the month of July, thus earning Figgy the 'Beaver Hat'
