Sounds like they really like this kid. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=502671 And rightly so...
Dude has crushed since he got signed.
18 HR in 2009 in 74 games (HR every 15.9 AB)
35 HR in 2010 in 138 games (HR every 15 AB)
30 HR in 2011 in 103 games (HR every 12.2 AB)
Guy has increased his HR rates, increased his walk rate by a ton, and cut down his K rate.
In about 2 full seasons worth of games, he has 83 HR, 90 doubles, 264 RBI, batting .317 with a 1.026 OPS.
GUY IS A MONSTER.
