The Eastern League announced today that Binghamton Mets outfielder Travis Taijeron has been named the league Player of the Week for the period of July 7 to 13. Burgamy hit .400 (8-for-20) during the stretch with three home runs and ten RBI. He led the league with a .900 slugging percentage.
Taijeron highlighted his stellar week with an outpouring of run production in a four-game series against the Portland Sea Dogs. He pounded out a half-dozen hits and collected nine RBI, including a pair of four-RBI games.
Taijeron, currently in his second season with the B-Mets, was selected in the 18th round of the 2011 draft out of Cal Poly Pomona. In 68 games, he is hitting .248 with 11 home runs and 45 RBI. Since June 10, the La Mesa, California native has compiled a .718 slugging percentage, the best in the league. - team press release

This guy struggles with strikeouts - but he pounds like no one else in the organization, with an extra base hit every 7+ at bats in his entire career. Let's hope he cuts down the K's, because booming bats are hard to find. When I looked the other day, in his last approx. 620 at bats, he has 62 (62!!)doubles and 34 HRs. Crazy.
He's at a high level plateau as a Smash/Crash .251 with power and K's 25 year old. He had almost 250 ab's at Bingo last year---this year's 400 look very similar (a little better).

He's "becoming" Val Pascussi--- I'll root for a next big step!
