The Cincinnati Reds' acquisition of Dane Myers in a post-Christmas trade with the Miami Marlins flew under the radar, but the speedy outfielder is making sure his name is known this spring.
Through 10 spring training games, Myers is just abusing opposing pitchers. He's hitting a prolific .350/.522/.650 (211 wRC+), walking at a comical rate (31.0%) and almost never striking out. There was a bit of a scare when Myers was scratched from the Reds' lineup earlier this week, but the team later confirmed that it was due to an illness, rather than any sort of injury.
