Jarrod Dyson

“Zoombiya” himself is one that can afford a lower batting average and still have solid tradability due to his outstanding defensive play. That said, he’s only hitting .207 on the season and most teams can find comparable defensive ability with more pop.

This is by far his worst hitting season, and that could get the attention of other teams, boosting his stock just a bit. It’ll be interesting to see what the M’s can get for the speed demon, but any more poor hitting will not help his case.
