A couple of quotes:

Quote:
“I’m telling you, (Florimon) has been an A-plus,” Keys manager Richie Hebner said. “He’s shortened his swing up. I guess in the past he took wild swings, but he’s very compact right now. The home runs he’s hit are real bombs.”



“He’s been a pleasant surprise to everybody,” Keys field coach J.J. Cannon said. “We didn’t expect him to do that. He’s a guy who’s hit like .218 in Delmarva. What a surprise suspect.”
With Florimon hitting at a .920 OPS, any chance he could get a mid-season call-up if he keeps this pace up?
