With plenty of bad news right now for the Brewers, at least in terms of the outcome that matters most- winning games- what about good news?
And, you might ask, what about Ruben "Streak" Souffront?
Well, I'm happy to report that Ruben is one of the rays of light indeed in these dark times for the Brewers.
Even in the midst of this current downturn which has the Brewers now 7 games under .500, Ruben just keeps rolling along.
He is 4th in batting average in the MGL at .324, easily 1st in stolen bases at 37 (with 13 times caught stealing), he has 17 doubles, 7 triples, and 6 HR's and has been showing some signs of increasing power of late, and he continues to play above average defense in rightfield (though he is a bit error prone) and has 9 outfield assists.
Any talk from earlier in the season questioning whether Ruben is capable of being a major league starter is now a distant memory. He is our rightfielder and is solidly entrenched in the middle of our batting order. He is one of the rocks upon which the Brewers intend to build the foundation for a winning future. (Along with Chad Brown, Antonio Puente, Tanner Yurek, and likely Pat Rondeau. And hopefully Bobby Erbakan.)
