Whit Merrifield Continues Raking
7 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman and 2017 waiver wire hero Whit Merrifield has been putting on a clinic in the Cactus League. Merrifield blasted his second homer of the spring session this week, and he's now batting a cool .500 for the period. He also picked up his first stolen base this week. Merrifield is coming off a stellar campaign that saw him lead the American League in stolen bases while blasting his way into being a top-10 contributor at the second base slot. Never really seen as a top prospect, the challenge will be on Merrifield to continue the performance into a new season. His spring stats seem to support the notion that the new Whit is here to stay.
