This is the magic of small sample size but look who has be the 6th best slugging percentage among Giants hitters -- after we exclude the small sample size that is Adam Duvall.
None other than ace pitcher and major league leader in snot rockets, Madison Bumgarner.
Ahead of Pablo Sandoval BTW which make my platoon argument even more palatable by the minute.

Don't laugh Kemo Sabe, but there is a site that apparently tracks and catalogs Bumgarner's Snotrockets, the (in)appropriately named:
http://bumgarnersnotrockets.mlblogs.com/
I didn't look but I imagine there either is or will be a Bumgarner Crotch Grabbers site up and running very soon. It's the times we're living in.
