Next up, Whit Merrifield. We picked up Merrifield in August last year in exchange for Max Castillo and Samad Taylor. Max has pitched in 4 games for the Royals with a 5.14 ERA. Samad was called up...

Reasonable numbers for a second baseman maybe not quite what you would want to see from a corner outfielder, but he is doing fine as a fourth outfielder.June: .300/.378/.350.He’s one of the few on the team hitting well with RISP, .288/.333/.452. It is cool that he’s also good with the bases empty, .310/.387/.365, but in a more “get on base” way, while with RISP, he’s hitting with more power. It is what you’d like to see.

In the world of interesting stats, he’s hit poorly with no outs , better with one out and even better with 2 outs . I doubt it means anything. And he is stealing bases, 18 for 23 as a base stealer. And you likely know he is second in the MLB for steals of third with 6 .43 games at second base. FanGraphs has him at a -0.8 UZR/150 there. About league average.He’s been a lot of fun to watch and seems like a good teammate. I’ve often thought I’d like to make a list of the most likeable players. Whit would be up there for me.
