If you’ve been following the blog here, you probably have a general idea that I don’t get too excited over guys who are too old for their level and putting up good numbers early. I warned you about Javon Moran when he was hitting .400 in the first month, and I warned you about Landon Jacobsen after two great starts. However, I can say that Jesus Merchan has me completely baffled. A few people had asked about him a few weeks ago in the comments section of an entry, and I kind of just dismissed it. However, I keep staring at his numbers, and I wonder if something is going on here. With all of that said, I wanted to take a closer look and see if I was missing something, see if this appears to just be another flash in the non-prospect pan, or if it’s something else all together.
