It is absolutely no secret that Angels fans want to see Michael Stefanic in the majors, as soon as yesterday. His play has been the talk of the town with Triple-A Salt Lake this season and with the Angels not in the thick of playoff contention, the opportunity to see what the 5-foot-10 infielder can do against major league pitching with his talented bat should be rewarded.
Entering today, Stefanic is batting .339 (135 Hits) with 14 home runs and 56 runs batted in through 103 games (21 in Double-A and 82 in Triple-A). Recording 36 multi-hit games and a sub 20% K rate this season speaks to his ability to put the ball in play as a contact hitter, which is a characteristic of his game he has put on display his entire career.
