My hopes for him reside in him playing against lefties more, but it's not even necessary this week with only one left-hander on the schedule. The monster power we've seen of late has long been lurking in him.

Please, I'm tired of writing about him. He's looking like an obvious Coors Field success story with the batting average, and the power has come around lately as well. Just get it done.
Tommy Pham LF
CHW Chi. White Sox • #28 • Age: 36

He faces a couple tough matchups in that Brewers series, but it's smooth sailing the rest of the way for a multi-talented hitter who's been straight-up murdering the ball of late.
Steven Kwan LF
CLE Cleveland • #38 • Age: 26

The early-season enthusiasm fizzled quickly because of a hamstring injury, which is why he's back to qualifying for this list. But he appears to be heating up again, even hitting his first home run Thursday, and has nothing but righties on the schedule.
Brendan Rodgers 2B
COL Colorado • #7 • Age: 27

Speaking of heating up, Brendan Rodgers appears to have found his stroke after a miserable first few weeks and will face a mashable trio of Royals pitchers when the Rockies return home to end the week.
Ian Happ LF
CHC Chi. Cubs • #8 • Age: 29

The matchups are middle-of-the-road and he's cooled off a bit, but the overall numbers still suggest he's one of the more under-rostered hitters out there. The improved plate discipline is especially encouraging for a player who's never been lacking for power.
Sheldon Neuse 3B
OAK Oakland • #26 • Age: 29

The Athletics don't have many hitters worth recommending, but with nine games on the schedule, there has to be someone. Sheldon Neuse has played his way into a full-time role, contributing just enough power and speed to get excited about.
Jeimer Candelario 3B
CIN Cincinnati • #3 • Age: 30

OAK5, BAL3

He took a while to get going last year but ended up leading the majors in doubles. He's finding his stroke at the right time with the Tigers set to enjoy an eight-game slate.
Andrew Benintendi LF

The Royals' best hitter so far will get to enjoy a weekend series at Coors Field after beating up on some bad Orioles and Rangers pitchers earlier in the week.

@NYY1, KC3, BOS3

His production has taken a turn of late, but the Rangers' matchups this week, the fourth-best of any team, could get him rolling again. It helps that there are five righties on the schedule.
