Friday, September 1st, 2209
Free agent-to-be
Ramón Hernández has inflated his asking price over the past 30 days by winning the Continental League Batter of the Month.
In August, the 25-year-old
Baltimore left fielder hit .394 with 5 home runs and 21 RBIs.
If he keeps putting numbers like that up, he could be hauling in a big wad of cash at this time next year.
For the year
Hernández has hit .327 with 26 home runs, 91 RBIs and scored 78 runs.
