If Miguel Tejada hits .380 but no one notices, does it still happen?

Because .380 is exactly what Miggs is hitting so far this month. He has a 10-game hitting streak. In those ten games, Tejada...

-Is 19x41 with five doubles and three homers.
-Has a line of .463/.476/.805
-Has raised his batting average 34 points
-Has raised his slugging percentage 81 points
-Has 2+ hits in six games

Meanwhile, at Surprising Statistics Station, Hunter Pence ranks 3rd (.352), Tejada 7th (.348) and Carlos Lee 15th (.324) on the NL batting average leaderboard.
