Royals Review reader Kirk (who you can find kicking around in the comments and on Twitter) asks:
Something I’ve heard from time to time is, “Give me a team full of <blank> and I’d win championships.” So my question is, what would a team of Whitleys look like? (Besides very white.) I would expect some variation with his defensive value based on the position, but would could we assume his offensive output would remain the same? I look forward to your take on this, and I’ll listen off the air.

“Give me a team full of Whit Merrifields and I’d win championships”
First off, I’m sure Rex Hudler has said this either on-air or inside his head when watching Merrifield.
