Flavor of the Month: Hot Coco

It's been no surprise to those of us watching the games that Coco has been recovering of late from a slower than slow start to the season. And I'll admit, my confidence in him waned and hit an all time low in mid-April where he stood with a .111 batting average, .179 OBP, and .167 slugging percentage. I just didn't see how he could pull it together. He seemed defeated and joyless. I'll also admit, I wanted to like him. I wanted a reason to root for Coco. There was such promise coming into last season and I didn't want to see that go to waste.
