Luis Arraez on Padres at the halfway mark and the remarkable Jackson Merrill

Luis Arraez on who the Padres are at the halfway point of the season, the remarkable Jackson Merrill plus thoughts on what Fernando Tatis brings (before news of his injury was revealed)

Merrill has been absolutely fantastic ! Love watching him play

Luis...gets it. From the very first game he played with us in Arizona...he had it all figured out, when you talk about how respected he felt being brought to this team. And besides Merrill and Pro', I sense Arraez TRULY knows that this is a team that can win it all. I love how he keeps EVERYTHING very, very simple. He knows his role...and he doesnt try to do too much. What he's doing, may look very easy, but its really not. Hell, its not easy to go 5 for 5 in a beer league softball game. Now, imagine how hard it is for him to average 2 knocks a night, every night.
