If he qualified... and he's pretty close...  he'd be 4th in the PCL in AVG, 4th in OBP, and 3rd in SLG.

2. Kole Calhoun, rf, Angels
Team: Triple-A Salt Lake (Pacific Coast)
Age: 25
Why He’s Here: .500/.606/1.077 (13-for-26), 4 HR, 1 2B, 1 3B, 8 R, 8 RBIs, 7 BB, 4 SO, 0-for-1 SB

The Scoop: Calhoun got 23 at-bats in the big leagues last year, but he’s returned to the Pacific Coast League for the second straight year. He’s older than most prospects, but he’s showing improvement in all the right areas, particularly with his ability to make contact. Calhoun’s excellent batting eye and efficient swing have helped him hit .354 with a .431 on-base percentage, while he’s also shown a tick more power than he had in the past with 12 homers in 59 games after going deep 14 times in 105 Triple-A games a year ago.

"Excellent batting eye and efficient swing."

 

We can't have any of that here. It would set a bad example for all the clueless, overaggressive hackers in our lineup.

Which is why it has been mentioned multiple times that he would only rot on Scioscia's bench.

PCL ranks if he qualified...  2nd in AVG, 1st in OBP, 2nd in SLG

Walks are a false stat. Duh!
