There seems to be no stopping former Yale All-American Ryan Lavarnway lately. Since being promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket last month, Lavarnway, a highly-regarded catcher in the Red Sox organization, is hitting .381 (45-for-118) with 10 homers and and 28 RBIs in just 31 games. Between Double-A and Triple-A, he's now hitting .319 with 24 home runs (best in the Sox minor league system) and 66 RBIs.

Need a few more mind-blowing numbers? Lavarnway is hitting .431 in July and .579 in the five games since the All-Star break. And if that's not enough to get him a promotion to Fenway by September 1, consider his .464 average against left-handers in the International League.
