D. Lee - MVP, Triple Crown, What Else?

We all know that Derrick Lee is putting up MVP numbers, is on pace to capture the 1st National League Triple Crown in god knows how many years and is generally one of the best pick ups the Cubs have gotten in recent memory (mine at least). Grin

Has anyone else noticed his batting average though, besides in the context of leading the NL for the triple crown that is? With today's action (23 June) of 3 for 4, 2 HR's, 3 RBI's, 1 BB, he has raised his average to .395.

Does anyone else besides me think he has a shot of ending the season with a batting average over .400? I know this hasn't been done in forever but noone seems to be talking about it. Is it to soon to be thinking about this??

Enquiring minds want to know!!!
