Monster
Two homers in one game. A .364/.400/1.000 line (okay, it's only 22 AB). But... clearing the 50-foot centerfield batter's eye at 405 feet.
Look out, Anaheim. Here comes D-Mac.

No. But it's getting closer. We'll see him in limited action in September -- and probably Kotchman as well.
What's weird about Kotchman is his trip to the bigs seems to have turned him into a contact hitter, even at Salt Lake: .333/.384/.515 with only two homers in the hitter-friendly PCL makes me think the trip up has really wrecked him; it could take another year for the lad to clear his head properly. I'd be very nervous sending McPherson to the majors when, by all accounts from the Angels staff, his hitting approach is still not as good as Kotchman's. If that brief stint in the show robbed Kotch of his power, imagine what it could do to McPherson, a player we really need even more.
