Two weeks ago (4/10) things looked like:
Tork .200/.265/.267/.532 57 wRC+
Javy .152/.171/.152/.323 -11 wRC+
Then a week later it was:
Tork .211/.300/.296/.596 78 wRC+
Javy: .151/.175/.208/.383 5 wRC+
Today:
Tork .221/.299/.305/.604 79 wRC+
Javy .197/.232/.289/.521 47 wRC+
So Javy was 70 wRC+ points behind, and he's cut that to 32 in a week. 47 is still not very good, but he's improved that a lot in the last stretch of games, 133 wRC+ since April 14.
One other notable positive change in that time:
Wenceel Perez went from -100 -> 53 -> 132 with only 29 plate appearances tho.
(Then we had several other guys who moved by around 20 wRC points.)
Not quite as good change in that time:
Colt Keith's wRC+ went 58 -> 35 -> 14.
McKinstry went 105 -> 72 -> 53.
Kelly went 100 -> 65 -> 53.
So at this point we have three regular outfielder/DH types with wRC+ above 147, and then aside from Vierling, everybody else who plays regularly is 79 or below. Perez and legend-in-the-making Buddy Kennedy have provided some pop in limited opportunities.

They are both getting better so thats a good sign.
I saw this title and my first thought is Javy was that bad? I mean gaining on Tork is a very low bar
