FACTS/FLUKES: Merrifield, Diaz, Mazara, Faria, and Mahtook

Merrifield tries to follow up 2017 breakout... Whit Merrifield (2B, KC) hit 13 home runs and stole 26 bases in the second half of 2017, which led to $46 of rotosserie value. With his power and speed profile, fantasy owners have been selecting him in the top 75 players in drafts. Does he have the skills to provide more power and speed in 2018?
